Is there anything better than a steamy-hot biscuit that’s straight out of the oven? Dab on a pat of butter and a drizzle (or river, #realtalk) of honey and you’re in comfort food H-E-A-V-E-N.
WAIT. I’ll tell you what’s better than that. A biscuit that’s been healthified with greek yogurt and less butter, but still has all the fluffy goodness of those fattening refrigerated biscuits. And yes, I’m looking at you, Pillsbury.
To be honest, I never was much of a biscuit girl until I started dating Kyle. Since I’m half Norwegian and half Japanese, the dinner table usually revolved more around potatoes and sushi. Kyle is, well, the most all-Americain boy you’ll ever meet and his great grandmother would make the family the most unreal biscuits and gravy. I’m talkin’ about a deeeelicious homemade gravy that’s seasoned to perfection with chunks of flavorful sausage in every bite. Then you top a warm and flakey biscuit with a huge ladelful and ERRHHHMAGAAA.
Kyle and I have the recipe (a closely gaurded family secret, so it won’t be making an appearance on the blog), but it never turns out exactly as good. It’s close, but not quiiiite there. I’m pretty sure the secret ingredient is a great-grandma’s love. I guess I’ll just have to wait till I’m 90 and then give it another go 😉 .
So anyways, I’ve been having biscuits on my mind lately and decided to whip up a batch since I had all the ingredients on hand. Supah simple, friends. A mixture of whole wheat and white flour, an egg, a leeeetle buttah, and some nonfat plain greek yogurt. You mix err’thing together, pop em’ in the oven, and shaaazammmm! Biscuits! Who would have thought?
Not only are these easy, but they are lightened-up with only 110 calories each and with loads less fat than normal biscuits, making them more of an everyday treat for me! Let’s pretend I don’t smother my biscuits with honey for the “healthy” sake of this recipe 😉 .
Fluffy yumminess at it’s best!
These look so like scones! (i.e. Delicious!) I love baking with greek yoghurt so I might just have to give these a try,
I can imagine these melting in my mouth right now… Grandmas have such a way with recipes that I will never understand. I’m 99.9% certain my pumpkin pie will never be as good as my grandma’s.
Wow, these look great. I love biscuits, though I’ve never been a big biscuits/gravy kind of person. Riley’s a classic southern boy, so he loves all of that stuff!
You literally read my mind – I came across an English blog the other day, and I haven’t been able to get biscuits out of my mind! English muffins have been sorta kinda not really cutting it…now time to hijack my RCs oven and make these ASAP. These look phenomenal!
I lovelovelove biscuits but the few times I’ve tried to make them they turned out almost bitter! I bet the greek yogurt makes them fabulous. These look so good!!
You just sparked a crazy for my grandma’s biscuits and gravy that won’t be tamed until I can go home and get some! However, these biscuits sound great and I like how you made them a little healthier than normal!
Pinned!
I really need to stop catching up on your blog when I am hungry, I feel like I always do this to myself. YUM.
Secret family recipes are like that, aren’t they? You swear you’re doing every single thing right, but it’s never quite as good. These biscuits look absolutely heavenly! I love how they’re lightened up – homemade beats all. Pinning!
Somehow I missed this post! eek! These look fabulous! Pinned and printed and cannot wait to try!
