Ingredients: The Symphony of Keto-Friendly Elements:

Our Keto Buttermilk Biscuits showcase a harmonious blend of low-carb ingredients, each playing a crucial role in achieving the perfect texture and flavor:

  • Almond Flour: The heart of our biscuit, providing a nutty richness while keeping the carbs at bay.
  • Baking Powder: A leavening agent that ensures a light and airy texture.
  • Xanthan Gum: Adding structure and elasticity to mimic the gluten in traditional biscuits.
  • Salt: Elevating the overall flavor profile with a savory touch.
  • Unsalted Butter: Infusing richness and moisture into every bite.
  • Sour Cream: Bestowing a subtle tanginess and enhancing the tenderness of the biscuits.
  • Heavy Cream: Ensuring a luxurious texture while keeping the carb count low.
  • Apple Cider Vinegar: Mimicking the tangy notes of traditional buttermilk without the carbs.
  • Egg: Providing structure and contributing to the golden hue of the biscuits.

Crafting Keto Bliss: Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), creating the ideal environment for these keto clouds to take shape.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. This forms the foundation of our keto-friendly biscuit dough.
  3. Incorporate cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients, using a pastry cutter or your fingers to create a crumbly texture. This step is essential for achieving that sought-after flakiness.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, heavy cream, apple cider vinegar, and an egg. Whisk this wet mixture until it attains a smooth consistency.
  5. Gently fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, ensuring a delicate integration that forms a soft, sticky dough.
  6. Turn the dough onto a surface lightly dusted with almond flour. Pat it into a rectangle and fold it over itself a few times to create layers.
  7. Using a round biscuit cutter, cut out delightful circles of dough and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. The layering in the dough ensures those irresistible flaky layers in the finished product.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the biscuits achieve a golden-brown perfection.

Keto Buttermilk Biscuits

EQUIPMENT

  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk
  • large cookie scoop

INGREDIENTS  

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 cup Wholesome Yum almond flour
  • 1/4 cup Wholesome Yum Coconut Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon pink salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a silicone baking mat or a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Stir the vinegar into the heavy whipping cream and set aside for 10 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the eggs, heavy whipping cream, and butter to the dry ingredients and whisk to combine. Using a large cookie scoop (or ice cream scoop) spray the scoop with olive or coconut oil. Scoop the dough into 8 biscuits onto the baking sheet. Cook for about 12 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and spring back a bit when touched.Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet.These biscuits are fragile so I don’t recommend trying to cut them in half. Just top them with butter and sugar-free jam, or gravy, etc.
