Ingredients
  

Biscuit Dough
  • 2 cups blanched almond flour (192g), finely ground
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (15g)
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt (1.5g)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter (75g), cold and cubed
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream (60ml)
  • 1 pinch flaky sea salt for garnish

Equipment

  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl Glass or metal preferred.
  • 1 Pastry blender Or two forks.
  • 1 Baking Sheet Lined with parchment paper.

Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a heavy baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 cups (192g) of blanched almond flour, 1 tbsp (15g) of baking powder, and 1/4 tsp (1.5g) of fine sea salt.
  2. Drop the 1/3 cup (75g) of cubed, cold unsalted butter into the dry almond flour mixture. Use a pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs.
  3. In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the 2 large eggs and the 1/4 cup (60ml) of heavy whipping cream. Pour the wet ingredients into the center of the butter and almond flour mixture. Use a silicone spatula to gently fold the dough until it just comes together.
  4. Use a large cookie scoop or a spoon to drop 6 equal mounds of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving a slightly uneven, rustic top. Space them 2 inches (5cm) apart.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until they develop a beautifully baked golden brown crust. Remove from the oven and let them rest on the pan for 5 minutes.
  6. Split one open in half, add a small square pat of yellow butter, and lightly sprinkle with tiny flakes of sea salt.

Notes

Keep your butter incredibly cold to ensure maximum rise and flakiness.
Do not overwork the almond flour dough.
