These high protein biscuits are tender, soft biscuits that are so easy to make and have 10g of protein in each biscuit!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups bread flour
  • 8 tbsp unflavored collagen powder (about 48 grams)
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 1.2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sugar (white or cane)
  • 6 tbsp butter (cold and unsalted)
  • 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Dice the butter into ¼” cubes and return them to the fridge until ready to use. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat.

  2. 2

    Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl or the base of a stand mixer.

  3. 3

    Add the butter to the dry ingredients. Use a fork, pastry cutters, or your hands to “cut” the butter into the flour mixture until a sand-like texture emerges. You can try to do this with the paddle attachment on the stand mixer but I find it easier to just use my hands.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, mix the egg and yogurt until well combined. Add this to the flour and butter mixture and mix until a dough forms with a wooden spoon, a paddle attachment in the stand mixer, or your hands. Mix until the dough comes cleanly off the sides of the bowl. If too sticky, add more flour 2 tablespoons at a time, allowing time in between for the dough to mix.

  5. 5

    Dump this out onto a floured surface and knead about 10 times. The dough should just come together, then stop mixing. Roll out to about ½”-¾” thick.

  6. 6

    Use an upside down cup or a round cookie cutter 3” or 4” in diameter and cut out 9 biscuits. The lid of a wide mouth mason jar will work too! You'll have to reroll the extra dough between cuts and recut to get all 9 biscuits.

  7. 7

    Place them on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
