Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Whisk
  • Baking Sheet
  • Pastry Cutter(Optional)
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • Almond flour — 2 cups
  • Baking powder — 1 tbsp
  • Salt — ½ tsp
  • Cold unsalted butter — ¼ cup cubed
  • Eggs — 2 large
  • Heavy cream — ¼ cup
  • Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice — 1 tsp
  • Optional: garlic powder cheddar, herbs, or cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or leave it bare for a crispier bottom.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt until the mixture is light and evenly combined.
  • Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the almond flour until the mixture looks crumbly with small butter pieces visible.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Add heavy cream and apple cider vinegar to create the keto buttermilk substitute. Let it sit for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix, as this can make the biscuits dense.
  • Scoop out 2-tablespoon portions using a cookie scoop or spoon. Shape the dough gently into rounds and place them onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each biscuit.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and the edges look set. The kitchen will smell amazing at this point.
  • Remove from the oven and let the biscuits cool for 5–10 minutes to help them firm up before serving.
  • Enjoy the biscuits warm with butter, sugar-free jam, savory toppings, or alongside your favorite keto meals.
