Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 0.25 cup Skim milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons 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, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cold diced butter into the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the Greek yogurt and the milk until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, beaten egg, and chopped chives into the dough, folding gently until incorporated.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Use a biscuit cutter or a small glass to cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Rework the dough scraps to make more biscuits, ensuring you don’t overwork the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
