Ingredients
- 2 cups (240g) All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup (60g) Unflavored or Vanilla Protein Powder (whey isolate or neutral plant-based)
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 tsp Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup (113g) Unsalted Butter, very cold and grated
- 3/4 cup (180ml) Cold Buttermilk (or milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice/vinegar)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
- Add grated cold butter to the dry ingredients and cut in with a pastry blender or fingertips until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized butter pieces.
- Pour cold buttermilk into the center of the mixture. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined and a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat into a rectangle, then fold into thirds (like a letter). Rotate 90 degrees and repeat patting and folding 2-3 more times.
- Pat the dough to about 3/4 to 1-inch thickness. Cut out biscuits with a floured biscuit cutter, pressing straight down. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and risen. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
