Ingredients
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
⅓ cup milk
¼ cup protein powder (unflavored or vanilla)
1 egg
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and protein powder.
2. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in Greek yogurt, milk, and egg until the dough just comes together—do not overmix.
4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface, gently pat into a rectangle, and fold once or twice.
5. Roll the dough to about 1-inch thick and cut out biscuits using a cutter or glass.
6. Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.
7. Let cool slightly before serving warm or storing.
Notes
Use very cold butter to help create flaky layers.
Do not overmix the dough or the biscuits may become tough.
You can freeze baked biscuits and reheat as needed.
