Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Protein Breakfast Biscuits
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a lined or greased baking sheet.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking until blended.
  3. Chop the cold butter into small cubes and mix into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
  4. Add the milk and egg, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick.
  6. Cut out biscuits using a round cutter and place them onto the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  8. Cool the biscuits on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before serving.
