FAQs

Can I use regular flour?

No, you need self-rising flour. It contains the necessary leavening agents. You can make your own. Mix all-purpose flour with baking powder.

Can I use flavored yogurt?

Plain Greek yogurt is the best choice. Flavored yogurts contain too much sugar. They will change the dough texture. Stick to the non-fat plain variety.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Yes, you definitely can! Air fry at 350 degrees. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes. They will be extra crispy.
