Ingredients

  • 2 cups self -rising flour
  • 1 cup non -fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 scoop (30g) unflavored whey protein isolate
  • 1/2 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the self-rising flour, unflavored protein powder, and salt until well combined.
  • Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the Greek yogurt and liquid egg whites.
  • Using a spatula, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until a shaggy dough forms, taking care not to overwork the gluten.
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat it down to a 1-inch thickness. Fold the dough over itself three times to create layers.
  • Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to stamp out 6 biscuits, pressing straight down without twisting.
  • Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet so they are just touching to encourage a higher rise.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter before serving.
