Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Low sodium baking soda
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Almond extract
• 0.25 cup Slivered almonds
• 2 tablespoons Optional: Low sodium almond butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, low sodium baking soda, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Add the chilled and cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a small bowl, stir together the almond milk and almond extract.

Step 5

Gradually pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a fork until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the slivered almonds gently into the dough.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently about 3 to 4 times until it holds together. Pat it into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.

Step 8

Using a biscuit cutter or a floured glass, cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gather the scraps, pat them out again, and cut additional biscuits until dough is used.

Step 9

If using, lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with low sodium almond butter for an extra almond flavor.

Step 10

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and baked through.

Step 11

Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm, with your favorite low sodium spread if desired.
