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 Oven: Preheat your 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 separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, and melted butter together until smooth and homogenous.
- Combine Batters: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a whisk or spoon until the batter is evenly mixed; it will be quite thick. Then fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Portion Batter: Using a ¼ cup measure, scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan cavities. The batter will be sticky, so use a spatula to scrape all the batter out of the measuring cup. Fill all 12 cavities evenly.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 10-11 minutes or until the biscuit tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool Before Serving: Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool slightly in the pan before serving to help them firm up and enhance flavor.
Notes
- Baking in a muffin pan is essential as the batter is very sticky and liquid; baking on a flat sheet will cause them to spread out too thinly.
- Full fat sour cream helps achieve the tender and fluffy texture; alternatively, cream cheese or plain Greek yogurt can be used but may slightly alter texture.
- For flavor variations, add fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, chives, thyme, or parsley to the batter.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with other cheeses such as mozzarella or gouda depending on preference.
- Ensure almond flour is superfine to achieve the best biscuit texture without grittiness.
