Ingredients

Main Components

Almond flour: 1.5 cups (168g) – use finely ground for the best texture.
Baking powder: 1.5 teaspoons – ensures a light, fluffy rise.
Salt: 1/4 teaspoon – enhances flavor.
Cold butter: 3 tablespoons, cubed – cold butter creates flakiness.
Eggs: 2 large – at room temperature for easier mixing.
Shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup – adds a savory, cheesy flavor.

Expert Tips (Before You Begin)

Keep butter cold: This is key for flaky biscuits. Cut it into small cubes and chill until you’re ready to use it.
Don’t overmix: Overmixing can make the dough dense. Mix just until combined.
Chill the dough: If the dough feels too sticky, chill it for 10 minutes before scooping.
Use a cookie scoop: This helps create uniform biscuits that bake evenly.

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in butter: Add cold butter cubes to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Incorporate wet ingredients: Beat the eggs and stir them into the dry mixture. Fold in the shredded cheese until a sticky dough forms.
Portion the dough: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop 8 mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
Cool and enjoy: Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving.

Pro Tip: Biscuits are done when they feel firm to the touch and have a light golden color.
