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
Additional Ingredients
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease the muffin cavities of a 12-cup muffin pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, salt, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder to evenly distribute all dry components.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, and melted butter together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredient bowl. Mix thoroughly with a whisk or spoon until the batter is evenly combined and thick in texture.
- Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese gently to incorporate it throughout the batter.
- Scoop Batter into Pan: Using a ¼ cup measure, scoop batter into each muffin cavity. Because the batter is sticky, use a spatula to scrape and ensure all batter is used up evenly across the cavities.
- Bake Biscuits: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 11 minutes or until biscuit tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool Slightly and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the optimal texture and flavor.
Notes
- Using a muffin pan is essential as the batter is quite liquid and will spread too much if baked free-form on a baking sheet.
- Full-fat sour cream provides the best tender and fluffy texture, but cream cheese or plain Greek yogurt can be used as substitutes.
- For variation, add herbs like rosemary, chives, thyme, or parsley to the batter or swap cheddar cheese for another favorite cheese.
