Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
- 2 large Cold eggs
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar-free maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Butter for brushing (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Whisk together well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, incorporate the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Small pea-sized lumps of butter should be visible.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold eggs, heavy cream, apple cider vinegar, and sugar-free maple syrup until smoothly combined.
Slowly pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface with a sprinkle of almond flour, and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle. Fold the rectangle in thirds, like folding a letter. Repeat the patting and folding process three more times to create layers.
Finally, press the dough to 1-inch thickness. Using a biscuit cutter or a round cookie cutter, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the leftover dough and repeat the process until all the dough is used.
Optional: Brush the top of each biscuit lightly with melted butter for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Serve warm with your desired low-carb toppings or as a delicious side.
