How To Make:
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
Creating the Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine Bisquick Heart Smart Baking Mix, skim milk, and plain nonfat Greek yogurt. Blend until a wet dough form.
Infusing Flavor: Incorporate garlic powder, parsley flakes, and both types of cheddar cheese into the dough. Ensure an even distribution of these ingredients for a burst of flavor in every bite.
Forming the Biscuits: Using rounded spoonfuls, drop portions of the dough onto the prepared silicone baking mat. This step sets the stage for our biscuits’ delightful form.
Finishing Touch: Sprinkle a pinch of finishing salt on top of each biscuit. This not only enhances the taste but also contributes to the golden-brown perfection we aim to achieve.
Baking Mastery: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits attain a golden-brown hue and a fluffy consistency.
