Almond Flour Biscuits

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup milk (dairy-free or vegan use unsweetened almond milk)
• ¼ tsp white vinegar (or lemon juice)
• 2½ cups superfine blanched almond flour ((not almond meal))
• 3 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• 2 tbsp sugar (can substitute pure maple syrup, coconut sugar, or your favorite sugar-free sweetener)
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, chopped (for dairy-free or vegan use Smart Balance butter or your favorite vegan butter)
• 2 large eggs (for vegan option use flax eggs or Bob's Red Mill gluten-free egg replacer)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   Add the vinegar to the milk and stir to combine. This makes a homemade buttermilk.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, mix together almond flour, sugar (or your choice of sweetener), baking powder, and salt.

4. 4

   Add the chopped butter, and using a fork or a pastry cutter, mix the butter into the almond flour mixture until a crumbly texture remains.

5. 5

   Add the milk and whisked eggs and mix until combined.

6. 6

   Using a greased ice cream scoop, place the biscuit dough onto the lined baking sheet about 2-inches apart. You will have 9 biscuit dough mounds.

7. 7

   Using a the back of a greased measuring cup or spoon, lightly press the the top of the biscuit dough mounds to form a circular shape. Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the tops are beginning to turn light golden brown.

8. 8

   Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes. If desired, brush with extra melted butter on top before serving.
