how to serve High Protein Skillet Biscuits

how to store High Protein Skillet Biscuits

tips to make High Protein Skillet Biscuits
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for better texture.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet; leave space between drop spoonfuls.
- Press lightly to shape each biscuit if a flatter surface helps them cook evenly.
- If batter is too wet, add a tablespoon more almond flour.
- For a dipping idea or a creamy side, try pairing with an easy high protein cottage cheese pizza dip.
variation (if any)
- Add cooked ham or bacon for more protein.
- Use different cheeses like mozzarella or pepper jack.
- Add garlic powder or onion powder for more flavor.
- Make smaller biscuits for snacks or larger ones for a hearty side.
FAQs
Q: Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
A: You can, but the texture and nutrition will change. Use a 1:1 swap but expect a different result.
Q: Can I make these dairy-free?
A: These use cottage cheese and shredded cheese, so they are not dairy-free. You could try dairy-free cottage cheese and vegan cheese, but results may vary.
Q: How do I know when they are done?
A: The biscuits are done when both sides are golden brown and they feel set in the middle when pressed.
Q: Can I bake them instead of cooking on a skillet?
A: Yes. Place spoonfuls on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden, about 12–15 minutes.
