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
Additional Ingredients
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly grease the muffin cavities of a 12-cup muffin pan to prevent sticking.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, salt, aluminum-free baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly mixed.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine the eggs, sour cream, and melted butter. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix with a whisk or spoon until the batter is thick and well combined.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Portion Batter: Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop the batter into the greased muffin pan cavities. Use a spatula to scrape out all sticky batter completely. Repeat until all batter is used.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 11 minutes or until the biscuit tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
Notes
- Baking these biscuits in a muffin pan is key because the batter is quite liquid and will spread too much if baked on a baking sheet.
- Full-fat sour cream is recommended for tender and fluffy texture; however, cream cheese or plain Greek yogurt can be used as substitutes.
- For variety, try adding herbs such as rosemary, chives, thyme, or parsley to the batter or substitute the cheddar cheese with other cheeses for different flavors.
