Notes
A NOTE ABOUT PROTEIN POWDER
I've used many different protein powders in my day and I'm afraid to tell you that they're all different. Some protein powders absorb more liquid, some less; which makes using protein powders in recipes like these a bit tricky. BUT there's an easy solution to this problem - simply watch the amount of liquid that you add.
Start with the amount of milk listed in the recipe card below and then if you notice your mixture is too dry, add a small splash more liquid (literally half a tablespoon at a time) until you reach the correct consistency. If you feel the mixture is too wet, add some extra protein powder.
MEASUREMENTS:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and your recipe will come out perfectly.
