Best tips
- Don't overwork the dough as your biscuits will be very dense.
- Just like baking cookies, you are looking for your biscuits to be lightly browned. That's when you know they are ready to come out of the oven.
- If you store your almond flour in the fridge or freezer, allow it to come to room temperature before mixing your batter. Cold almond flour will not absorb the wet ingredients the way we want it to here.
We also use almond flour in our keto Thanksgiving stuffing recipe.
