Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Yogurt (SCD compliant or plain, unsweetened)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the almond flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg and SCD-compliant yogurt.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir with a spatula until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop, shape the dough into 8 evenly sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Gently flatten the tops of the biscuits slightly with your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits are firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely or serve warm.
