Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups superfine almond flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp aluminum free baking powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 450°F and lightly grease the muffin cavities of a 12-cup muffin pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and melted butter until smooth and fully blended.
- Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a whisk or spoon until the batter is thick and uniform. Then, gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Portion Batter: Using a ¼ cup measuring scoop, spoon the sticky batter into each muffin cavity, scraping the cup with a spatula to get all the batter out. Fill all 12 cups.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake for about 11 minutes, or until the biscuit tops turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly in the pan before removing and serving for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Baking in a muffin pan helps maintain shape as the batter is quite liquid and will spread out on a baking sheet.
- Full-fat sour cream is key for tender, fluffy biscuits; alternatively, cream cheese or plain Greek yogurt can be used for similar results.
- For variations, add fresh herbs such as rosemary, chives, thyme, or parsley to the batter or swap cheddar cheese with other preferred cheeses.
- These biscuits are perfect as a savory snack or as a side dish for keto and low-carb meals.
