Directions and Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This warm environment is perfect for achieving that golden brown finish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the self-rising flour and Greek yogurt. Stir together until the mixture begins to form a dough, inviting you in with its rich, creamy texture.
- Gradually add the milk to your dough, mixing until it becomes soft but not sticky. This step is key to ensuring your bites are just right!
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it gently for about 2 minutes, allowing it to come together beautifully.
- Roll the dough out to about 1/2 inch thick. Use cookie cutters or a knife to cut it into your desired shapes, whether they be circles, squares, or something fun!
- Carefully place the cut dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they have a little space between each piece to breathe.
- Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until they turn a lovely golden brown, filling your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma.
- Once baked, remove the treats from the oven and let them cool slightly before indulging. Their tender texture is best enjoyed fresh!
Notes or Tips
- If you want to add a little extra flavor, consider mixing in herbs or spices to your dough, like garlic powder or dried rosemary.
- These bites are delightful when served warm with a smear of butter or your favorite jam.
- For a touch of sweetness, you can sprinkle a bit of sugar on top before baking.
