About Greek Yogurt
Stir separated whey back in unless the recipe explicitly asks you to drain it. Spoon into a measure, close large air pockets and level; do not whip air into it first.
Greek yogurt is thicker than ordinary pouring yogurt. Replacing one with the other changes the moisture balance, and sweetened or flavoured versions also bring ingredients a plain-yogurt recipe may not expect.
Tips for measuring Greek Yogurt
- Check the label for plain rather than sweetened yogurt.
- Use the recipe's stated drained weight when one is provided.
Common mistakes
- Draining yogurt and still applying the original undrained measurement.
