Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup whey protein isolate
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 0.75 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter into the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the grated cheddar cheese until it is evenly distributed throughout the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, milk, and egg until smooth.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix. The dough should be slightly sticky.
Fold in the chopped chives gently to incorporate them into the dough.
Using a spoon or a 1/4 cup measuring scoop, drop equal amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your high protein cheddar biscuits warm or at room temperature.
