Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, cold and diced
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt, plain
• 0.25 cup Skim milk
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Add the cold diced butter into the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the Greek yogurt and the milk until just combined. The dough will be slightly sticky.

Step 5

Add the shredded cheddar cheese, beaten egg, and chopped chives into the dough, folding gently until incorporated.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Step 7

Use a biscuit cutter or a small glass to cut out biscuits and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Rework the dough scraps to make more biscuits, ensuring you don’t overwork the dough.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.

Step 10

Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm.
