Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup cooked bacon (crumbled)
- 0.25 cup whey protein powder (unflavored)
- 0.75 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add them to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, protein powder, and chopped parsley until evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the buttermilk. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to gently combine the ingredients until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a roughly 1-inch thick rectangle.
Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out biscuits. Re-roll the dough scraps as needed to use up all the dough.
Place the biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm.
