Ingredients
1½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup unflavored whey protein isolate
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cubed
¾ cup unsalted chicken broth (or milk)
¼ cup Greek yogurt
1 large egg
Optional: ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Optional: 2 tablespoons fresh chopped herbs
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder in a large bowl.
3. Grate cold butter using a box grater and toss into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together chicken broth, Greek yogurt, and egg until smooth.
5. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir gently with a wooden spoon just until combined.
6. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
7. Fold dough over itself 3-4 times to create layers, then pat back to 1-inch thickness.
8. Cut biscuits using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter, pressing straight down without twisting.
9. Place biscuits on prepared baking sheet, brush tops with melted butter.
10. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 190°F.
11. Cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
12. Serve warm with butter or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
For fluffier biscuits, keep all ingredients cold and work quickly to prevent butter from melting.
Don’t overmix the dough—visible flour streaks are okay and will hydrate during baking.
If dough feels dry, add chicken broth 1 tablespoon at a time until it comes together.
These biscuits freeze beautifully—flash freeze unbaked and bake from frozen, adding 3-4 minutes.
For sweet versions, replace chicken broth with milk and add 2 tablespoons honey plus 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
Nutritional values are for classic version without optional add-ins.
