Ingredients

  • 2 cups self -rising flour
  • 1 scoop (30g) unflavored whey protein isolate
  • 1 cup non -fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk for brushing

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, unflavored protein powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  • Incorporate the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Fold the shredded cheddar cheese into the flour mixture until evenly distributed.
  • Add the Greek yogurt to the center and stir with a spatula until a shaggy dough forms, taking care not to overwork the gluten.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and pat down to a 1-inch thickness.
  • Use a 3-inch circular cutter to stamp out 8 biscuits, re-rolling scraps once if necessary.
  • Arrange biscuits on the baking sheet so they are just touching to encourage a vertical rise.
  • Brush the tops lightly with milk and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
