⭐ How to Make Keto Buttermilk Biscuits
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Keto Buttermilk
In a small bowl, mix almond milk with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
Let sit for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together:
- Almond flour
- Coconut flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Xanthan gum (if using)
4. Cut in the Butter
Add cold cubed butter to the dry ingredients.
Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to work it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Add Wet Ingredients
Stir in the egg and keto buttermilk just until a soft dough forms.
Do not overmix—this keeps the biscuits tender.
6. Shape the Biscuits
Scoop portions of dough and gently shape into round biscuits.
Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each.
7. Bake
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden.
8. Optional Finish
Brush warm biscuits with melted butter for extra flavor and softness.
