Dinner is always infinitely more exciting when there are biscuits. Flaky, buttermilk, or drop, I don’t really care — just bring home the biscuits! Taking the time to work with cold butter and roll and cut out the dough isn’t something I always have time for, especially on a weeknight, but this is the easiest from-scratch biscuit recipe you’ll ever make. It calls for just two simple ingredients, no rolling or cutting, and just a few minutes of your time. And with that, biscuit nirvana is yours any night of the week.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups plain whole-milk Greek yogurt
Finely chopped fresh herbs: 1/4 cup parsley, oregano, basil, cilantro, scallions, or chives, OR 2 tablespoons rosemary or thyme
1/2 cup shredded cheddar, Swiss, or Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup crumbled feta or blue cheese
1/2 cup small-dice ham or crumbled, cooked bacon
1/2 cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes or olives
Mixing bowl
Measuring cups and spoons
Baking sheet
Parchment paper

Instructions

Heat the oven: Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
Mix the dough: Place the flour, yogurt, and any add-ins, if using, in a large bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a moist, shaggy dough forms and no dry bits of flour remain.
Drop the dough: Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, drop the dough onto the baking sheet, spacing the biscuits at least 1 1/2 inches apart.
Bake the biscuits: Bake until golden-brown in spots on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.
Self-rising flour substitute: Measure 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour into a bowl. Remove 2 1/2 teaspoons of the flour and place back in the flour container. Add 2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon fine salt to the bowl and whisk together.
Storage: The biscuits can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Reheat in a 300°F oven until warmed through.
