Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla or unflavored)
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and protein powder. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add them to the dry ingredients and gently mix until a dough forms, being careful not to overwork it.
- Shape the Biscuits: Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until smooth. Roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out biscuit shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use cold butter to achieve a flaky biscuit texture.
- Choose a protein powder that complements the flavor of your biscuits, such as vanilla or unflavored whey or plant-based protein.
- If you prefer a lower fat option, substitute butter with coconut oil.
- You can add herbs or spices like rosemary or cinnamon for extra flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or toaster oven for freshness.
