#Post

I bought some greek yoghurt yesterday thinking it was plain yoghurt. Was wondering if anyone had a recipe for a scone or something similar, cheese puffs etc. I know I could google it but thought someone here may have a tried and trusted recipe. Thanks

Thanks for that korbo - have saved that recipe looks yum unfortunately I don't have all the ingredients to make it at the moment hence why I thought maybe a scone recipe or similar may be the way to go.

Also a good way to use cheap sour cream dips too.

Yoghurt Cheese
Ingredients:
Greek yoghurt 4 cups
Salt 1 tsp
Method:
• Mix yoghurt and salt, pour it into a sieve lined with cheese cloth or a damp clean chux cloth
• Leave on the bench overnight (if its cool in kitchen.) or in fridge
• Next day tip the cheese into another bowl, discard whey
• Add finely chopped rosemary and some chives
Or cumin and crushed garlic
• Mix all together and put in fridge
Serve with bread or crackers

I would not discard the whey, but use it in breadmaking,its full of protein.

Hi everyone many thanks for your suggestions - they sound great. I actually ended up using a recipe I found on pinterest which had all the ingredients I had on hand at this stage. We often get greek yoghurt on clearance at our supermarket so will save the above recipe to try another day. The recipe I made is as follow:
GREEK YOGHURT BISCUITS (or scones as we know them)
2 cups plain flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 cup of greek yoghurt (I used 2 x little pottles which was what I had)
1/2 cup milk

Mix together. I always use a knife to mix my scones. I actually used a little bit more milk than it said as I felt it needed it. Placed mixed onto floured surface and sprinkled some flour on top and just kneaded it very gently and than using a scone cutter cut into 12 medium size scones. Cooked on 200 for about 12-15 minutes or until cooked. IMO scones are best straight out of the over and topped with butter. Yum. Tick of approval in our house. Would definitely make them again.

We tried a cheese scone recipe with greek yogurt and it was awful. I must admit we prefer ordinary yoghurt and are not that keen on greek - the scones tasted really strongly of the greek yoghurt.

To me Greek yoghurt tastes same as ordinary yoghurt, just thicker. Unless of course you are used to sweetened yoghurt. You can make Greek yoghurt taste same as what you are used to by adding a sweetener or sweetened fruit.

I buy it especially to use on nachos instead of sour cream. In fact l use it where ever the recipe uses sour cream - lower in fat and much healthier. Then l look for recipes to use it up. (Thanks for the recipe nana. Lol.)

It lasts nearly forever in the fridge!
I use it instead of cream on desserts or cakes.

You can use for a 2 ingredient pizza dough by adding only self raising flour.

Ingredients
Base:
4 pitta breads, split open and cut into nacho-sized triangles
Topping:
500g Greek yoghurt
75g tahini
45ml lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1-2 tsp sea salt flakes, or to tasteEggplant-Beef Layer:
3 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion (125g), peeled and finely chopped
1 eggplant (250-300g), cut into small cubes
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp Aleppo pepper or ground paprika, plus more for sprinkling
1-2 tsp sea salt flakes, to taste
500g minced beef
Garnish:
125g pomegranate seeds
50g pine nuts, toasted
1-2 tbsp finely shredded mint leaves
Select all

Method

Preheat oven to 180C fan forced.
Spread the pita triangles out onto a large baking tray and toast in the oven until crisp, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside until needed.
Beat the yoghurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and 1 teaspoon of sea salt flakes together in a heat proof bowl, which will later sit over a saucepan. Adjust seasoning with salt if desired. Set aside until needed.
Warm the oil in a wide, though not deep, heavy based frypan. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, over a medium heat for 5 minutes, then turn heat down and continue cooking until soft and pale and caramel in colour, about another 4 minutes or so.
Turn the heat up to medium, add the eggplant cubes and stir well to mix with the onion. Stir frequently and cook for a further 10 minutes. Reduce heat if eggplants begin to catch.
Stir in the cumin, coriander and a teaspoon each of Aleppo pepper and sea salt flakes. Increase heat to high and stir in the beef mince, use a fork to break up the mince a little then continue to turn in the pan until browned. Reduce heat to medium and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through. Adjust seasoning to taste, then remove from the heat and set aside until needed.
Pour some just-boiled water into a fresh saucepan, about 3cm up the sides and place over low heat. Sit the bowl with the tahini-yoghurt mixture on top, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Beat well until the yoghurt is slightly above room temperature and has the consistency of lightly whipped cream.
To assemble, arrange crisp pitta triangles on a large round plate. Top with the eggplant-beef mixture, followed by the yoghurt-tahini sauce. Sprinkle with Aleppo pepper or paprika, to give a light dusting. Scatter over the pomegranate seeds and toasted pine nuts, and then finish with the shredded mint leaves.

Thanks Wheelz, that was the recipe. Have copied and paste, so sorry for some random returns - in case others want it as well and like me, worried I'd have it spoilt (I didn't look at the sides and bottom of the page much) lol

crazyNana posted a yoghurt cake recipe ;) lol
