Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 1/2 cup Whey Protein Powder
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Cold Butter (cut into small pieces)
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1/4 cup Milk or any dairy-free alternative
- Prepare Your Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the baking powder for consistent rising.
- Cut in the Butter: Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until pea-sized crumbs form, which helps create flaky layers in the biscuits.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and milk until smooth, adding moisture and tenderness to the dough.
- Combine to Form Dough: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir just until the dough forms. Avoid overmixing to keep the biscuits light and fluffy.
- Shape and Bake: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and pat it out to about 1-inch thickness. Use a biscuit cutter to cut rounds and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Notes
- Keep butter cold before cutting it in to maximize flakiness.
- Mix dough gently to avoid tough biscuits.
- Measure flour by spooning and leveling to prevent dry biscuits.
- Use Greek yogurt for improved texture and flavor.
- Bake on parchment paper for even browning and to prevent sticking.
