The Best Protein Biscuits
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
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
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl or the base of a stand mixer.
- 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
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
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
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
Place them on a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
