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 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 until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly with a whisk or spoon until the batter is thick and evenly mixed.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly incorporated throughout the batter.
- Fill Muffin Pan: Using a ¼ cup measure, scoop the batter into each muffin cavity. Use a spatula to scrape out all the batter from the measuring cup as it is sticky. Fill all 12 cavities evenly.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10 to 11 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly in the pan before removing and serving warm.
Notes
- Baking the biscuits in a muffin pan helps maintain their shape since the batter is quite liquid and would spread out too much on a baking sheet.
- Full fat sour cream is key for tender, fluffy texture, but you can substitute with cream cheese or plain Greek yogurt if needed.
- For flavor variations, add fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, chives, thyme, or parsley to the batter.
- Cheddar cheese can be swapped for other cheeses such as mozzarella, gouda, or parmesan for different tastes.
