Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk, cold
• 1 Egg
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
• 0.5 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.

Step 4

Stir in the Greek yogurt until combined.

Step 5

In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the cold buttermilk and the egg.

Step 6

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the chopped chives and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it just holds together. Pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Step 9

Fold the dough in half from one end to the other, then turn it 90 degrees and repeat the process of patting and folding two more times. This step helps create layers and makes the biscuits flaky.

Step 10

Finally, after the last fold, pat the dough into a rectangle about 1 inch thick again and use a biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits. Re-roll any scraps to cut out more biscuits as needed.

Step 11

Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown on top.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
