Easy Almond Flour Biscuits

Image
 In making the move to eating fewer grain-based meals, we have started utilizing almond flour. I found this recipe on the Wholesome Yum page and really like it - for the ease of making them as well as for the taste. These biscuits are very tender and don't hold up well to being sliced open. Instead I make them a bit thinner. We usually will break off a bite - but when I made green chile sausage gravy, we used them whole and doused them in the gravy. Included below is the recipe I use (only slightly different from the original) as well as the Old Bay Cheddar variation. How easy are they? You mix the dry ingredients, add the wet ingredients (pictures are of Old Bay Cheddar biscuits)... Mix together. Put them on the baking sheet (medium cookie scoop with a release trigger makes quick work of this)...     ...and bake them.    Easy Almond Flour Biscuits 2 c blanched almond flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp sea salt 2 large eggs, beaten 1/3 c butter, melted & cooled slightly Preheat
