How to make biscuits without milk

Follow along with my easy instructions to see how to make biscuits without milk at home.

Preheat the oven to 400 °F.

Grease a sheet pan with oil or butter.

In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients.

Next, add room-temperature soft butter and yogurt and mix them all by hand or spoon.

At this point, do not overmix. The batter will be sticky; no worries, do not add more flour.

Flat out the batter and divide it into nine sections; it does not have to be perfect.

Grab each batter and drop them on the sheet pan. They round up as they cook. Leave some room between them as they expand while baking.

Brush them with egg yolk. (optional)

Bake them on the middle rack or until golden brown on top and crispy on the bottom.

Let it cook, and ENJOY!

Substitutes

• Substitute all-purpose wheat flour with whole wheat flour, oat flour, almond flour, rice flour, or any other flour you like.
• Replace plain whole milk yogurt with sour cream, buttermilk, milk kefir, or cottage cheese.
• Substitute butter with ghee, coconut oil, olive oil, or avocado oil.
• Use one teaspoon of baking soda for every three teaspoons of baking powder.
• Be creative and make these biscuits without milk by adding the following:
  • Seeds such as pumpkin, sesame, chia, sunflower, or flax seeds
  • Nuts such as chopped walnuts, cashews, almonds, or peanuts.
  • Dried fruits like figs, dates, raisins, apricots, blueberries, cranberries, cherries, or apples.
  • Spices such as cumin, ginger, pepper, or turmeric.
  • Herbs like cilantro, chives, parsley, oregano, mint, dill, or rosemary.

Equipment

I used a 15.5 x 10.5-inch cast iron sheet pan. Everything tastes extra delicious when cooked in cast iron cookware.

Storage and reheat

Let them cool completely, store them in an air-tight Ziplock, and refrigerate them for up to a week. This way, they stay moist and do not dry out. Heat them in an oven or microwave them for a few seconds.

What to serve with it

Make it with sourdough starter

Follow the exact recipe for the biscuits without milk mentioned below. Only leave the baking powder out. Then add half a cup of sourdough starter to the batter and mix them. Let the batter ferment for 8 to 12 hours or until it doubles in size. Then, add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the fermented batter right before baking. Mix them all; It will be sticky; no worries, no need to add flour. Just divide the batter into equal parts, drop them in a greased sheet pan, and bake them.

I prefer the fermented version of this recipe for more of its health benefits!

Make it keto

• Use almond flour or coconut flour instead of wheat flour.
• Substitute plain whole milk yogurt with plain Greek yogurt or cottage cheese.

Make it vegan

• Substitute plain whole milk yogurt with almond yogurt, cashew yogurt, or other nut yogurts. Or substitute it with nut-based milk such as almond milk, coconut milk, or cashew milk.
• Substitute butter with coconut oil, olive oil, or avocado oil. Apple sauce, nut butter, and mashed bananas are other great examples.
