Ingredients
Scale

- 3 tablespoons cold butter or coconut oil
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2–4 tablespoons milk of choice

- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine flour, protein powder, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
- Cut in Butter: Add cold butter and blend with fingers or a fork until crumb-like.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Mix in Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons milk. Add more milk if needed until dough forms.

- Vanilla protein powder adds slight sweetness; unflavored works for savory biscuits.
- Plant-based protein powders may require extra milk.
- Do not twist biscuit cutter—press straight down for better rise.
