Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and shredded cheese (if using).
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky, but not too wet. If it's too dry, add a little more melted butter.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball. Flatten each ball slightly into a disk shape.
- Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each biscuit.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure better mixing and a more consistent dough texture.
- Don't overmix the dough - this can make your biscuits tough instead of light and fluffy.
- For extra flavor, try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the dry ingredients.
- Make sure your almond flour is fresh and finely ground for the best results.
- If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before shaping.
- For a golden top, brush the biscuits with an egg wash before baking.
- Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- Experiment with different cheese options like sharp cheddar or parmesan for varied flavor profiles.
