Wet your scoop or hands to handle sticky dough.
Bake on parchment for easy release.

Whole wheat: Swap up to half the flour with white whole wheat flour.
Vegetarian: Skip ham and sausage; add more veggies (roasted peppers, mushrooms).

Herbs: Use fresh basil, parsley, or dill. Stir fresh herbs in after baking for bright flavor.

FAQs (minimum three FAQ)

Can I use nonfat Greek yogurt?
Yes. It works, but the biscuits may be a bit drier. 2% gives better texture.
Can I bake these as muffins?
Yes. Grease a muffin tin and fill each well about ¾ full. Bake the same time, 25 minutes, or until set.
Can I make the dough ahead?
Yes. Mix and cover the dough. Chill up to 12 hours. Scoop and bake; add 1–3 extra minutes if cold.
Can I skip the red pepper flakes?
Yes. They are optional. The biscuits will still be flavorful.
What if my dough is too dry or too wet?
If dry, add 1–2 tablespoons yogurt. If wet, add 1–2 tablespoons flour. Stir lightly.
