Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 unit Egg, large
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a small bowl, combine heavy cream and apple cider vinegar. Stir and set aside to let it curdle, forming low-carb buttermilk.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the prepared buttermilk.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the egg and buttermilk mixture. Gently stir until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into neat rounds, if desired, for more uniform biscuits.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy!
