🧾 Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
-
2 cups almond flour
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for savory flavor)
Wet Ingredients:
-
2 large eggs
-
¼ cup melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free option)
-
¼ cup heavy cream
-
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
-
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (to mimic buttermilk tang)
Optional Add-Ins:
-
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese for cheesy biscuits
-
1 tablespoon chopped chives or parsley for a herbed twist
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat the oven:
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the “buttermilk”:
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes — it will curdle slightly and create a keto-friendly “buttermilk.”
3. Mix the dry ingredients:
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and (if using) garlic powder. This helps evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
4. Combine wet ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, heavy cream, and prepared “buttermilk.”
5. Create the dough:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky — that’s perfect. If you’d like, fold in shredded cheese or herbs at this stage.
6. Shape the biscuits:
Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop to drop portions of dough onto the baking sheet. You can leave them rustic and freeform, or gently shape them into rounds for a more traditional biscuit look.
7. Bake:
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits feel firm to the touch.
8. Cool and serve:
Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving — they’ll set and firm up as they cool. Serve warm with butter, sugar-free jam, or keto sausage gravy.
