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
Add-ins
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F and lightly grease the muffin cavities of a 12-cup muffin pan to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder ensuring they are well mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and stir with a whisk or spoon until you have an evenly mixed, thick batter.
- Add Cheese: Fold the shredded cheddar cheese into the batter, distributing it evenly throughout.
- Portion Batter: Use ¼ cup measurements to scoop the batter into each muffin cavity. Since the batter is sticky, use a spatula to scrape and remove all batter from the measuring cup.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake for about 10-11 minutes or until the biscuit tops are 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.
Notes
- Baking in a muffin pan is best because the batter is quite liquid and will spread too much if baked free-form on a baking sheet.
- Using full-fat sour cream is key to a tender and fluffy texture, but cream cheese or plain Greek yogurt can be substituted if sour cream is unavailable.
- For flavor variations, try adding fresh herbs like rosemary, chives, thyme, or parsley, or swap cheddar cheese for another type of cheese.
