Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups fine almond flour (blanched for best texture)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter for brushing on top (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat and prep: Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, sour cream, and melted butter until smooth. Let the butter cool slightly so it doesn’t scramble the eggs.
  4. Bring it together: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula until no dry spots remain. Fold in the shredded cheddar and herbs.
  5. Rest the dough: Let the dough sit for 3–5 minutes. Almond flour hydrates quickly, and this short rest helps the dough firm up for easier scooping.
  6. Portion the biscuits: Using a large cookie scoop or two spoons, drop 10–12 mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple inches apart.
  7. Shape and finish: If you want smoother tops, lightly dampen your fingers and pat the mounds into rounded biscuits. Brush the tops with melted butter for extra color.
  8. Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the tops are golden and the centers are set. The bottoms should be lightly browned.
  9. Cool briefly: Let the biscuits cool on the pan for 5 minutes to set. Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
