Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well blended and any lumps are broken up.
- In a separate medium bowl, melt the butter. Allow it to cool slightly, then add the eggs and whisk until fully combined and smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until a consistent dough forms.
- If using shredded cheese, fold it into the dough gently, distributing it evenly throughout the mixture.
- Using a large spoon or cookie scoop, drop the biscuit dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the drops about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading.
- Use the back of a spoon to slightly flatten and shape each biscuit, creating a more uniform round shape if desired.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the tops are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm and enjoy. These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days, or refrigerated for up to a week.
Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the best texture, let your eggs and melted butter cool slightly before mixing them into the dry ingredients. This helps create a fluffier biscuit.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to denser biscuits.
- Experiment with Cheese: Adding shredded cheese not only enhances the flavor but also gives the biscuits a delightful cheesy pull. Try different types of cheese for unique variations!
- Perfect Baking Sheet Prep: Ensure your baking sheet is lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking. This will also help achieve a nice golden bottom.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on your biscuits as they bake. Ovens can vary, and you want to catch them just as they turn golden brown for the best texture.
- Storage Tips: These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container. Reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their warmth and texture.
- Serve with Style: Pair your biscuits with butter, sugar-free jam, or your favorite dip to elevate your snack experience!
