Ingredients

2 packed cups Blanched Almond Flour

1/2 Cup Starch (Arrowroot, Tapioca, Potato or Sweet Potato Starch)

1/2 Tsp. Salt

1/2-3/4 Tsp Baking Soda (see note below)

1/2 Cup Butter , Earth Balance, Bacon Lard or Shortening.

2 Large Eggs

3/4 Tsp Vinegar or Lemon Juice.

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

In a bowl combine the Almond Flour, Starch, Salt and Baking Soda.

Step 3

To the bowl- add the fat of your choice (Butter, Earth Balance, Bacon Lard or Shortening or any mix of them). Cut the fat into the flour until the fat is about the size of a pea.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl whisk together the eggs and Vinegar. Pour mixture in with the flour and mix just briefly and gently until the dough comes together. It may feel a little wet.

Step 5

Dust a sheet of parchment, or your counter with additional starch. Gently pat the dough into a round and cut into 6-8 biscuits using a biscuit cutter or the top of a round glass. Use as much starch as needed to prevent sticking. (Note: I like to cut 3 biscuits and then pat the dough into another round before I cut the second 3 biscuits).

Step 6

Bake for 18 minutes.
