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
Add-ins
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit 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 eggs, sour cream, and melted butter until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients, mixing with a whisk or spoon until the batter is thick and fully incorporated.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese evenly throughout the batter.
- Scoop Batter: Using a ¼ cup measure, scoop the sticky batter into each muffin cavity, using a spatula to scrape the batter out fully for even portions.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake for 10 to 11 minutes until the tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Allow biscuits to cool slightly in the pan before removing and serving warm for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Baking in a muffin pan helps the batter maintain shape as it is quite sticky and liquid, preventing it from spreading out too thin.
- Full fat sour cream lends tenderness and fluffiness; if unavailable, cream cheese or plain Greek yogurt can be substituted.
- Customize the biscuits by adding fresh herbs like rosemary, chives, thyme, or parsley to the batter.
- Cheddar cheese can be swapped with other cheeses to vary the flavor profile to your preference.
