Instructions
Creating Breakfast Protein Biscuits is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to make your delicious batch:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well blended.
3. Add Butter: Cut in the softened butter using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the milk and honey (if using), stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Incorporate Extras: If desired, fold in cheese and herbs for added flavor.
6. Shape Biscuits: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Cut into squares or use a biscuit cutter for round shapes.
7. Place on Baking Sheet: Transfer the cut biscuits to the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
8. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on a wire rack before serving.
