Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (240g) All-Purpose Flour (or 1 cup AP + 1 cup Whole Wheat)
- ½ cup (60g) Unflavored Whey or Plant-Based Protein Powder
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ cup (113g) Cold Unsalted Butter, diced (or solid Coconut Oil)
- ¾ cup (180ml) Cold Buttermilk (or regular milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice)
- Optional Add-ins: ½ cup Shredded Cheddar, 1 tbsp fresh chopped Chives, 2 tbsp crumbled cooked Bacon bits
Instructions
- 1. Prep Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2. Combine Dry: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and any dry optional add-ins.
- 3. Cut in Fat: Add cold, diced butter (or coconut oil) to dry ingredients. Use a pastry blender or fingertips to cut fat into mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces.
- 4. Add Wet: Make a well in the center and pour in cold buttermilk. Stir gently until just combined and a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
- 5. Fold Dough: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat into a rectangle, fold in thirds. Rotate 90 degrees, repeat pat and fold 2-3 more times. Pat to 1-inch thickness.
- 6. Cut Biscuits: Using a 2-2.5 inch biscuit cutter, press straight down (no twisting) to cut biscuits. Place on prepared baking sheet.
- 7. Bake: Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until golden brown and risen.
- 8. Cool & Serve: Cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
