Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (preferably sharp for extra flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease lightly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Cut in Butter:
    • Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Add Cheese:
    • Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed in the flour mixture.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients:
    • In a separate bowl, whisk together sour cream and egg until smooth.
  6. Form Dough:
    • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but manageable.
  7. Shape Biscuits:
    • Scoop about 1/4 cup of dough and form it into a biscuit shape using your hands. Place each biscuit onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a few inches between each one.
  8. Bake Biscuits:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown on top and cooked through.
  9. Cool and Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Useful Information

  • Ingredient Tips: Almond flour is a low-carb alternative to traditional wheat flour, providing a nutty flavor and moist texture to baked goods. Sharp cheddar cheese adds a rich taste, but you can experiment with different cheese varieties like mozzarella or pepper jack for varied flavors.
  • Storage: Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving to maintain freshness.
  • Variations: Customize your biscuits by adding herbs like parsley or chives, or incorporate crispy bacon bits for added texture and flavor.
