Almond Flour Biscuits
Description
To create Almond Flour Biscuits, almond flour (or almond meal) is mixed with baking powder and salt if desired. Eggs and melted butter are whisked and added to form a dough, which is shaped into roughly 30-gram balls, flattened into disks, and baked at 180°C (350°F) until lightly golden. The lack of gluten requires careful handling after baking.
The biscuits are tender inside with a slightly crisp surface and a rich almond flavor. They are crispier when warm but become firmer as they cool, so gentle handling after baking is advised. These biscuits suit those avoiding gluten or looking for a low-carb bread alternative.
They can be served individually or alongside meals needing a bread component without gluten.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups ground almonds 250g, Use 2 ¼ cup or 225 grams if using super-fine almond flour, or almond meal
- 2 egg large
- 5 tablespoon butter 70g, melted
- 1 ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit electric or 160C / 320 fan.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl - almond flour, baking powder and salt, if using.
- Whisk the eggs and stir in the melted butter. Then add to the dry ingredients and combine into a dough with a fork.
- With your hands, roll balls of circa 30 grams each. Flatten into a disk with a thickness of about 1 inch and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for around 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Notes
- The biscuits contain approximately 7 grams of net carbohydrates each and yield about 12 pieces.
- Handle biscuits carefully when hot, as they are fragile due to the absence of gluten.
- Allow biscuits to fully cool on a wire rack to firm up before storing or serving.
