Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/4 cup Whey protein powder (unflavored or vanilla) Use a high-quality powder for best texture.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Cold butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy) Keep it very cold.
  • 1 large Egg Lightly beaten.

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Pastry blender or two knives

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and protein powder until combined.
  3. Cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter remaining.
  4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cold milk and the lightly beaten egg.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a fork until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough will be shaggy.
  6. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat or roll the dough to about 3/4-inch thickness.
  7. Use a biscuit cutter (about 2.5 inches) to cut out 8 biscuits. Press the cutter straight down without twisting to get straight sides.
  8. Place the biscuits close together on the prepared baking sheet for softer sides, or farther apart for crispier sides.
  9. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. For freezing, cool completely before sealing in an airtight freezer bag.

Notes

To reheat frozen biscuits, microwave for 30-60 seconds or bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
