Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour (or almond/oat flour for gluten-free option)
- 1/2 cup Protein Powder (whey or plant-based, unflavored or mild vanilla)
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/3 cup Greek Yogurt (or plant-based yogurt for dairy-free)
- 2 large Eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan)
- 1/4 cup Milk or Plant-Based Milk
- 6 tbsp Butter or Coconut Oil (cold, cubed)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined for consistent rising and texture.
- Incorporate Butter or Oil: Cut cold butter or coconut oil into small cubes. Use a pastry cutter or fingers to blend into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs, which helps create flaky biscuit layers.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, and milk until smooth. Pour into the dry ingredients and fold gently until just combined, avoiding over-mixing to maintain tenderness.
- Shape the Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick. Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut rounds and place them slightly apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown on top. Remove and let cool slightly to lock in moisture before serving.
Notes
- Keep ingredients cold for light, flaky biscuits.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough biscuits.
- Use unflavored or mild protein powders to preserve biscuit flavor.
- Measure flour by scooping lightly and leveling to prevent dryness or density.
- Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats to stop sticking and ease cleanup.
