Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ cup Unflavored Protein Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter, Very Cold, diced
  • 1 cup Buttermilk, Very Cold
  • Optional: Cooked Crumbled Beef Breakfast Crumbles
  • Optional: ½ cup Shredded Cheese (Sharp cheddar, Gruyere, or Monterey Jack)
  • Optional: Fresh Herbs (1-2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives, parsley, or dill)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, protein powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  4. Add the very cold, diced unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and work it into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces of butter still visible.
  5. If using, gently fold in any optional savory elements like cooked crumbled beef breakfast crumbles, shredded cheese, or fresh herbs.
  6. Pour the very cold buttermilk into the butter-flour mixture and mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened and a shaggy, somewhat sticky dough forms.
  7. Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the shaggy dough out onto it.
  8. Gently pat the dough into a rough rectangle, about ½ to ¾ inch thick, and perform a few folds to create layers.
  9. Pat the dough to a final thickness of about 1 inch for taller biscuits or about ¾ inch for flatter ones.
  10. Using a 2 to 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter, press straight down into the dough without twisting.
  11. Place the cut biscuits onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch between them.
  12. For extra golden tops, brush the tops of the biscuits with a little extra buttermilk or melted butter before baking.
  13. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and risen.
  14. Once baked, transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Keywords: Keep everything cold for flaky biscuits, don't overmix the dough, and handle gently to ensure tenderness. You can experiment with savory add-ins or slightly sweet variations to suit your taste.
