A Snack-Time Story:
Admittedly, these biscuits were born out of a mission to use up some baking protein powder and gluten-free flour lurking in the pantry. But the results were too fantastic to not share!
Ingredients:
7 tbsp butter
50g baking protein powder (or unflavoured whey)
1/2 tsp baking powder
60g Gluten-Free Flour (or all-purpose flour)
Dash of cayenne pepper
1 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tbsp dried parsley flakes
85g light cheddar cheese
1 egg
Instructions:
Preheat Oven: Get started by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures that your biscuits bake to golden perfection.
Mix Butter and Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, melt the butter and then stir in the cheddar cheese until they meld into a creamy mixture. Let it cool until it reaches room temperature.
Incorporate the Egg: Once the butter and cheese mixture have cooled down, beat in the egg until it's fully integrated.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the baking protein powder (or unflavoured whey), baking powder, gluten-free flour (or all-purpose flour), cayenne pepper, garlic salt, and dried parsley flakes to the bowl. Stir until everything is well combined.
Shape Your Biscuits: Roll the dough into 8 equal-sized balls and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Give them a little space to spread out as they bake.
Bake to Perfection: Pop your tray into the preheated oven and let the biscuits bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
Ready to Enjoy: Once they're baked to perfection, take your biscuits out of the oven and let them cool slightly before indulging. Trust us, the wait will be worth it!
