Ingredients
- 2 cups blanched almond flour 224g
- 1 tbsp baking powder 12g
- ¼ tsp salt 1.5g
- ½ tsp xanthan gum 1.5g
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter cubed, 112g
- ¼ cup sour cream or buttermilk (see notes) 60g
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 °F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Add combined dry ingredients to a food processor with cold butter, and pulse until crumbly. There should still be small bits of butter visible. You may also cut the butter in by hand using a pastry cutter.
- Add sour cream and egg to the mixture and stir until a thick dough forms.
- Form dough into a ball and place down on a piece of parchment paper. Press down using your hands until dough is about 3⁄4-inch thick. Press a 2.5-inch round biscuit cutter straight down into the dough (don't twist). Repeat until all dough has been used.
- Place cut biscuits on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
- Allow to cool, slice, and enjoy!
Notes
Tip: Make sure to keep butter and the resulting dough as cold as possible prior to baking. If the butter melts or softens too much, the biscuits may not turn out as flaky.
Buttermilk Biscuits: You can also try replacing the sour cream with buttermilk for true buttermilk biscuits. Add the buttermilk slowly to ensure the dough doesn't get too thin, since buttermilk is more liquid than sour cream.
