Tips for the Best 5-Ingredient Low Carb Cheddar Biscuits
Use finely ground almond flour : This helps create a smoother texture and prevents a grainy biscuit.
Shred your own cheddar : Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can affect the texture. Freshly shredded cheese melts better and adds more flavor.
Don’t overmix the dough : Mix until just combined to keep the biscuits light and tender.
Use a cookie scoop for even sizing : This ensures uniform biscuits that bake evenly.
Let them cool slightly before serving – They will firm up as they cool, making them easier to handle.
Bonus Tip: Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder for an extra burst of flavor!
