Ingredients

• 1 tbsp baking powder

How to Make Protein Biscuits

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, whisk flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in Greek yogurt, milk, and honey until dough forms. Turn dough onto floured surface, knead lightly, and pat into a 1-inch thick round. Cut biscuits with a cutter and place on lined baking sheet. Bake 12–15 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving. Freeze leftovers in airtight bags for up to 2 months.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
3. Cut in Butter: Add cold cubed butter. Using a pastry cutter or fingertips, cut butter into the dry mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. This step ensures biscuits bake light and flaky.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in Greek yogurt, milk, and honey (if using). Mix gently until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep biscuits tender.
5. Shape the Dough: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 4–5 times to bring it together. Pat into a 1-inch thick circle.
6. Cut Biscuits: Use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut rounds, placing them 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. Gather scraps, reshape, and cut until all dough is used.
7. Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until biscuits are puffed and golden brown.
8. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving warm.
9. Freezer-Friendly Storage: Once cooled, freeze biscuits in a zip-top bag. Reheat in oven or toaster oven until warmed through.

Result: Tender, golden biscuits with a fluffy interior and protein-packed goodness—perfect on their own or paired with eggs, cheese, or spreads.
