# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- You get a solid protein boost without drinking another chalky shake or eating plain boiled eggs
- These freeze beautifully so you can batch cook breakfast for the entire week in under 30 minutes
02 -
- Overmixing the dough will make these tough, so stop as soon as the flour streaks disappear
- Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before eating or the texture will feel gummy and underdone
03 -
- If your dough feels too sticky, chill it for 10 minutes before scooping
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform biscuits that bake evenly
