Journey into the realm of guilt-free indulgence with our Cheddar Keto Biscuits. In a world where carbs often take center stage, these biscuits defy norms, offering the same rich taste and fluffy texture without the carb-heavy baggage. Each biscuit is a melange of sharp cheddar, aromatic herbs, and the perfect crumb, promising a delightful experience without any compromises. Welcome to the future of comfort food, where every bite is both satisfying and keto-friendly.
Cheddar Keto Biscuits are the perfect answer to those carb cravings, especially when you’re on a ketogenic diet. Imagine the allure of freshly baked biscuits – the golden crust, the soft interior, the melt-in-the-mouth cheddar – all achieved without traditional flours. Enhanced with garlic and herbs, these biscuits are not just a side dish but the showstopper of any meal. Pair them with your favorite soups, or enjoy them just as they are, warm and dripping with butter.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 tsp xanthan gum (helps improve texture)
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp dried rosemary or parsley (optional)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Directions:
Begin your biscuit-making escapade by preheating the oven, setting the stage for the magic that’s about to unfold.
In a mixing bowl that holds tales of many past recipes, whisk together almond flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, garlic powder, and dried herbs (if using). Let the aroma of the herbs transport you to quaint countryside bakeries.
In another bowl, where simplicity meets flavor, combine the eggs, sour cream, and melted butter, whisking them together till they form a smooth blend. Introduce this liquid love to the dry ingredients, ensuring they become fast friends. As the batter begins to take shape, fold in the sharp cheddar, letting it weave its cheesy magic through the mix.
Using an ice cream scoop or your trusty hands, drop dollops of the biscuit batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring each one is a beacon of hope for deliciousness. Slide them into the oven, and let them bake to golden perfection.
Once done, let them cool slightly on the baking sheet, before transferring them to a wire rack or serving plate.
Tips or Notes:
- To elevate the flavor profile, consider adding finely chopped chives or green onions to the mix.
- These biscuits are best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
- They can also be used as a base for keto-friendly sandwiches or served alongside keto soups.
- If you’re feeling indulgent, brush the tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder for an added layer of flavor.
