Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and xanthan gum.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, incorporate the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, and then add the buttermilk and apple cider vinegar, mixing well.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in.
Gently mix the dough until just combined, being cautious not to overwork it.
Scoop out portions of the dough using a large spoon or small ice cream scoop, and place them onto the prepared baking tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the biscuits to cool for a few minutes on the baking tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy with your favorite low-carb spread.
