Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon xanthan gum
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream with the apple cider vinegar and let it sit for about 5 minutes to create a keto-friendly 'buttermilk'.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum.
Add in the cold, cubed unsalted butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and the 'buttermilk'.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 10 biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the biscuits to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm with your favorite keto-friendly topping.
