Traditional buttermilk biscuits get a tasty and tangy upgrade with the addition of Greek yogurt! It’s a great way to add a bit of healthy protein in an unexpected way.
I think I’m one of those people who gets less done when they aren’t completely overstretched and overcommitted. This past month has been a relatively light one at work and I haven’t had a ton of side projects going on either.
Turns out, my sleep ‘sweet spot’ without setting an alarm is nine hours. Who has time to sleep nine hours? Turns out I do. Guess what’s not getting done when I sleep for nine hours? Cooking, cleaning, exercising, taking photographs, and writing blog posts.
Luckily (not so luckily?) that’s all about the change. I’m back to working almost 80 hours a week in the pediatric ICU starting today! That means less sleep, but hopefully more exercising, cleaning and blogging, right? Right.
These biscuits are great for a busy schedule. They are easy to make and you can make them a day ahead, which I love. Instead of oil or butter, they get most of their moisture from healthy Greek yogurt. The drizzle of honey butter to finish is the perfect touch. I absolutely adore them and have been making them on repeat. Pro tip: These also make amazing biscuits for breakfast sandwiches. Ah-mazing. You’re welcome.

Beautiful pictures, Kelly and I love greek yoghurt so these biscuits are pretty amazing to me.
Thanks so much! The Greek yogurt is such a nice twist on a classic!
Haha, 9 hours of sleep sounds so good! These days I seem to wake up so early on my day off and I’m not happy about it! These biscuits look so good and would definitely give me a reason to get up in the morning!
I’m no longer getting 9 hours and I miss it SO much! Thanks for stopping by Izzy!
Kelly I just don’t know how you do it. Pediatric ICU is a rough rotation. Bless your heart, sleep is sooo overrated.. LOL I bet if your brought these delightful buttermilk biscuits into work they would be gone in a flash. Take care of yourself!
It is! I only have a few days left and I’m finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. It’s been such a long week! Thanks so much for your kind thoughts.
9 hours of sleep sounds AMAZING. Get it while you can, girlfriend!
My daughter was born over 10 months ago and I still haven’t gotten even 6 full hours in a row since then. Haha. It’s a struggle.
These biscuits look so melt in your mouth delightful and would be perfect with my morning cup of coffee. Yum!
Haha, I’m sure you haven’t! Being a mom means you keep ICU-like hours! 🙂
80?! I don’t know how you do it either. The recipe sounds easy enough so there shouldn’t be any excuses for the rest of us to not make it 😉
🙂 It is super easy! I hope you get a chance to make it!
hey, i am totally with you here. I get way less done when overstretched.Ugh, learning to say no and focus on LESS Is MORE, right? now pass the biscuits, i’ll dig in and get going… haha.

Hey Kelly! Thanks so much!
I have thought for a long time now that Greek yogurt would be a great addition to the Classic buttermilk biscuits. I have just never tried it. The tangyness of the biscuit is what I love and this has to be fantastic. I’ll try it!
