Tips for Perfect Protein Biscuits

Do not overmix
Overmixing can make the biscuits dense instead of fluffy.

Use cold ingredients if possible
Cold butter or yogurt helps create a better texture.

Adjust moisture
If the dough feels too dry, add a little more milk.

Choose the right protein powder
Different powders absorb liquid differently, so adjust as needed.
