Description
Keto biscuits are another good example of how you can make your favorite recipes out of low carb ingredients. They are really easy to make and a pretty good substitute for the biscuits you may be used to eating. Cover these low carb almond flour biscuits with butter or jam, and serve them at dinner on the side of your favorite main course.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- ½ cup Heavy Cream
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
- 2 cups Almond flour
- ⅓ cup Butter
- ⅓ cup Paleo Thin Egg White Protein
Instructions
- The first step is to get a small bowl and add the heavy cream and then add the lemon juice to the heavy cream. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes. It will sour the cream a little bit to resemble buttermilk.
- Next, add the egg to the cream and beat it together with a whisk.
- Then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, one at a time. It doesn’t really matter which order you add them, just add them all and then mix them all together.
- The next step is to grate the frozen butter with a box grater.
- With a spoon or even your hands mix the butter into the dough, but do not overmix. You will see lumps of butter in the dough but that is normal.
- With your hands pull out the dough in biscuit size portions. There is no need to space them far apart because they do not spread out too much. It’s ok even if they touch because it may cause them to rise a little higher.
- Place them on the cookie sheet that is lined with a piece of parchment paper and lightly flatten the tops of the keto biscuits.
- Bake them at 400 degrees for about 12 minutes, but keep an eye on them toward the end to make sure they are not getting too dark.
- Let them sit for a few minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet. Serve.

Here are a few tips to achieve making the best low carb biscuits!
In all of my attempts at making keto biscuits, every time that I froze the butter and then grated it with a box grater, they always came out the best.
Do not overmix the dough, because it will make the keto biscuits tough. The dough will be crumbly but that is normal.
The almond flour biscuits do not spread out far, so bake them close together in order to aid them in growing up instead of out.
Biscuits turn out better when you mix them by hand instead of with an electric mixer.
Start with cold ingredients and then refrigerate the dough before baking. It will make the low carb biscuits flakier.
Do not roll the dough when placing them on the cookie sheet, just put them loosely with your hands or a cookie scoop.
If you want the tops to come out golden brown, then brush them before baking with cream or melted butter.
The almond flour biscuits will continue to cook on the cooling rack so do not overcook them in the oven.
