# What You'll Need:

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
02 - 2 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
04 - 1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt, full-fat or low-fat
05 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

09 - 1 large egg
10 - 1 tablespoon milk

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

03 - Add Greek yogurt to the dry mixture and stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
04 - Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
