Ingredients

2 cups Wholesome Yum Blanched Almond Flour
2 tsp Baking powder
2 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Sea salt
1 large Egg (whisked)
1/3 cup Heavy cream
1/3 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese (shredded)
3 tbsp Unsalted butter (melted, for topping)
1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
1/4 tsp Garlic powder (for topping)
1/8 tsp Sea salt (to taste, for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and sea salt, stirring well to blend.
Step 3: Add the whisked egg, heavy cream, and melted butter to the dry ingredients, stirring until uniform. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese gently.
Step 4: Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Shape into rustic biscuits by rounding and slightly flattening each mound with your fingers.
Step 5: Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, until the biscuits are golden and semi-firm to the touch.
Step 6: Let the biscuits cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to firm up. Meanwhile, mix the melted butter, chopped parsley, garlic powder, and sea salt for the topping. Brush this buttery mixture over the warm biscuits before serving.

Tips & Variations

For a sharper flavor, substitute half the cheddar cheese with Parmesan.
Add finely chopped green onions to the dough for extra savory notes.
If you prefer, use ghee instead of butter for a richer taste and higher smoke point.
To make these dairy-free, try coconut cream and a non-dairy butter alternative, though the texture may vary.

Storage

Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat them gently in a toaster oven or conventional oven to restore their crispness. These biscuits also freeze well; thaw and warm before serving.

How to Serve

The image shows a close-up of several golden, fried crab cakes stacked on top of each other on a white marbled surface. Each crab cake has a rough, crunchy breadcrumb-coated outer layer with a bright golden-yellow color, and they are topped with small flecks of fresh green parsley scattered across the surface for a touch of color. One crab cake is broken in half, revealing a soft, moist, and slightly crumbly inside with a lighter yellow tone. The texture contrasts between the crispy outside and tender inside are clearly visible. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?

This recipe is specifically designed for almond flour to keep it keto-friendly. Using regular flour will change the texture and carb content, so it’s best to stick to almond flour for the intended results.

What can I substitute for heavy cream?

You can replace heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk or a blend of cream cheese and water in equal parts. Keep in mind that substitutions may slightly alter the flavor and texture of the biscuits.
