- 1 1/4 Cup - Almond Flour
- 3 Large Eggs
- 2 TBS - Butter
- 1 tsp - Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp - Salt
Directions
- Cut butter into small cubes and place into freezer for 10 minutes, it must be ice cold.
- In a large bowl combine almond flour, baking soda and salt. Mix well.
- Using a pastry cutter or whisk, cut in the ice cold butter.
- In a separate bowl using a hand mixer or whisk, thoroughly whip the eggs until frothy (light and airy).
- Fold eggs into flour mixture until it forms a sticky dough.
- Using an ice cream scooper or spoon, drop the dough onto a lightly greased or non stick surface and then bake in a pre-heated 400ยบ oven for 12-14 minutes or until golden.
Enjoy!
If it helps you can use a cheese grater on frozen butter, then you can just mix it in without having to break it up with the whisk. I can't take credit though, I saw this on a cooking show :)
ReplyDeleteThat does help! I rarely bake, maybe 2-3 times a year and I usually get my wife to help when I do but she was out of town this time! Thanks for the tip!!

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to leave another post after they're made to share how they came out.
DeleteThanks for sharing Larry, making these really soon.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy Pam! Please let me know how you like them!
DeleteDo you think using coconut flour instead of almond is fine?
ReplyDeleteI would think so. I was talking about this with my wife this weekend and I think we may try it next time to see. I will post the results when we do. If you do before, I'd like to know as well! Thanks!

I was wondering if you've frozen these biscuits and how they would do? I'd love to be able to make a large batch and freeze then for the week.
ReplyDeleteI haven't frozen them before? Please let me know how they turn out if you do. Thanks.

Will do. Made since this morning and they came out great. Fried some bacon and eggs for a breakfast sandwich. Delicious. Thanks.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed them!! Thanks!

On keto diet.
DeleteFirst decent recipe I've found for spreading double cream brie on something that wasn't mealy and gross.
Bumping fat intake with negligible carbs is awesome!
Making them AGAIN tonight, along with your low carb pizza crust.
Tweaking the procedure a bit for the pizza. Trying to make (half) the crust in advance so I can top it later in the evening for late night dinner. Seeing if it holds up to sitting for a while. Was going to try making the second half and holding it in the refrigerator, but decided it's kind of a useless idea as I can just hold the half of the batter without cooking for a long time.
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the biscuits! I think you will really enjoy the pizza crust since you liked the biscuits! I know I was really happy with it! Please let me know how you like it!! Thanks again!

Can I use baking powder instead of baking soda ??
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeleteI bought King Authur finely ground almond flour just for this recipe. Followed the recipe correctly, baked them for 12 minutes and they taste very bitter. They are a bit more browned than yours but that appears to be the only difference. Why the bitter flavor? This is the second recipe I've tried using almond flour (pancake recipe with bob's red mill) and that one came out bitter too. What gives?! I was so wanting to LOVE these and they are inedible.
ReplyDeleteSorry you weren't able to enjoy them, BUT I think the problem is with your baking soda and not the recipe. Your baking soda could be bad or you simply may have a sensitive taste to it and not care for it. Try making the pancake recipe or the biscuit again and try using baking 'powder' instead of baking soda and see if that gets rid of the bitter taste. If it does not, it could be the flour but I doubt it. Please let me know if this helps! Thank you!
Deleteit could also be the browning. Almond flour is bitter when scorched. If you are used to having very brown flour biscuits, this won't work with almond flour.
Deletehi! :)
ReplyDeleteIn my country we don't use cups for measuring, so I would like to ask you how much grams (or whatever other size you have) of almond flour you use? :)
Hope to hear your answer soon, cause I can't wait to try these ones out!
When a recipe doesn't include the grams, I just google the conversion: cups to grams. Hope that helps!
