Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until they are well blended.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry mixture, and stir to evenly distribute the cheese throughout the flour mixture.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using) until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out portions of the dough and form them into balls or drop them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Once all the dough is on the baking sheet, gently flatten each biscuit slightly with the palm of your hand.
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and cooked through.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the biscuits warm, and enjoy them as a delicious keto-friendly snack or side dish!
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for freshly shredded cheddar cheese instead of pre-packaged shredded cheese, which often contains anti-caking agents.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until a dough forms. Overmixing can lead to denser biscuits.
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to customize the flavor by adding herbs like dried parsley or oregano, or even a pinch of smoked paprika for a unique twist.
- Check Oven Temperature: Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 400°F (200°C) for even baking. An oven thermometer can help you verify the temperature accuracy.
- Storage: Store any leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their delicious texture.
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it. Just scoop and bake when you’re ready for a fresh batch!
