Buttermilk Biscuits

High-Protein Biscuits Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Elevate Protein Flour
  • 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
  • 1 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 4 Tbsp Cold Butter + 1 Tbsp, melted, for brushing
  • 1/2 cup + 1 Tbsp Nonfat Fairlife Milk
  • 1 Tbsp Nonfat Greek Yogurt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the Elevate Protein Flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
  3. Cut in cold butter and add greek yogurt. Mix with your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add milk to the dry ingredients, stir or use your hands to mix until the dough comes together. You may not need all of the milk mixture. I found the sweet spot to be 1/2 cup and 1 tbsp (135ml).
  5. Knead the dough gently 15 times, ensuring the dough stays cohesive but soft.
  6. Gently roll or pat the dough to 1 inch thick. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter or a wide-mouthed drinking glass to cut biscuits. Reroll the scraps to cut out additional biscuits. Place biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
