Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 unit Egg, large

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine heavy cream and apple cider vinegar. Stir and set aside to let it curdle, forming low-carb buttermilk.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Mix well to ensure even distribution.

Step 4

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the prepared buttermilk.

Step 6

Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the egg and buttermilk mixture. Gently stir until a dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into neat rounds, if desired, for more uniform biscuits.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving warm. Enjoy!
