Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
  • 2 tsp Baking powder
  • 2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large Egg (whisked)
  • 1/3 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)

Topping

  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1/4 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp Sea salt (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and sea salt. Stir these dry ingredients well to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the whisked egg, heavy cream, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and then gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese to incorporate without overmixing.
  4. Shape Biscuits: Using a large cookie scoop, scoop out the dough onto the lined baking sheet spacing them at least 2 inches apart to allow spreading. Gently shape each scoop into a rounded biscuit by slightly flattening with your fingers, taking care not to overwork the dough for a rustic look.
  5. Bake: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for approximately 12-16 minutes, or until they become semi-firm and develop a golden crust.
  6. Cool and Add Topping: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes without moving them to allow them to firm up. Meanwhile, mix together the melted butter topping ingredients—unsalted butter, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and sea salt. Brush this fragrant butter mixture generously over the warm biscuits before serving.

Notes

  • Use blanched almond flour for a finer texture and better consistency in the biscuits.
  • Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender and flaky.
  • Spacing biscuits apart is important as they will spread during baking.
  • The topping adds flavor and moisture, apply while biscuits are warm for best absorption.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat lightly before serving.
