Ingredients

• Melted Butter: Adds richness and moisture to the biscuits, helping to bind the ingredients and keep the texture soft. Its fat content also adds flavor and aids in achieving a golden-brown exterior. You can also use ghee or coconut oil instead.
• Eggs: Act as a binding agent, giving structure to the biscuits and helping them rise. They also contribute to the biscuit’s light, airy texture while adding protein.
• Seasonings: A combination of fresh parsley, salt, white pepper, and garlic powder add flavor to the biscuits. Feel free to use black pepper instead of white and swap the fresh parsley for dried (use 1/3 of the amount).
• Coconut Flour: Adds fiber and helps absorb moisture, giving structure to the biscuits while keeping them soft and moist.
• Almond Flour: Adds texture and a mild nutty flavor, working along with the coconut flour to keep the biscuits low-carb and gluten-free while providing a crumbly, biscuit-like texture. Be sure to use superfine almond flour for best results.
• Baking Soda: This leavening agent helps the biscuits rise.
• Shredded Sharp White Cheddar Cheese: Adds a bold, savory taste and richness to the biscuits. It also contributes to the overall texture, making the biscuits slightly gooey and chewy when warm. Feel free to use yellow cheddar instead. I recommend shredding your own cheese for the best flavor and texture.

How to Make These Low-Carb Biscuits

• Step 1: Preheat the Oven. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
• Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, parsley, salt, white pepper, and garlic powder until everything is well combined.
• Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix the coconut flour, almond flour, and baking soda.
• Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients. Once combined, gradually whisk the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. You’ll start to see the dough come together.
• Step 5: Add Cheese.  Now, stir in the shredded sharp white cheddar cheese. 
• Step 6: Scoop Dough. Using a large cookie scoop, ice cream scoop, or spoon, drop portions of the biscuit dough onto your prepared baking sheet. Try to keep them roughly the same size so they bake evenly.
• Step 7: Bake the Biscuits. Pop the biscuits into the oven and bake for about 12-16 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and set. Keep an eye on them so they don’t overbake. 
• Step 8: Cool and Enjoy. Once they’re done, let them cool slightly before serving.

Variations

• Garlic and Herb Biscuits: Swap the parsley for a mix of fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or chives, and increase the garlic powder for a more robust herb-garlic flavor. 
• Bacon Cheddar Biscuits: Add 1/4 cup of cooked, crumbled bacon to the dough for a smoky twist that pairs perfectly with the cheddar cheese. 
• Italian-Inspired Biscuits: Mix in 1/4 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and swap the cheddar for shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese. 

Serving Suggestions

• With Soup or Stew: Serve a warm biscuit alongside a hearty bowl of soup or stew. Chili is also a great option!
• Egg Sandwiches: Split a hot buttery biscuit in half and use it to make an egg, bacon, and avocado breakfast sandwich for filling morning meal.
• Lunch Sandwiches: Turn these low-carb biscuits into ham and cheese, pulled pork, or chicken salad sandwiches for a delicious lunch idea.
• With Gravy: Enjoy these biscuits topped with low-carb sausage gravy for a classic, comfort food breakfast.
• Dinnertime Side Dish: Pair the biscuits with your favorite meats and salads for a tasty low-carb side. They’re also great with burgers!

Expert Tips

• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure the eggs and melted butter are at room temperature to prevent the butter from solidifying when mixed with the other ingredients. 
• Use a Cookie Scoop: To ensure even baking, use a cookie scoop (aka disher) to portion the dough onto the baking sheet. This also helps the biscuits come out uniform in size and shape.
• Watch the Bake Time: Check the biscuits after 12 minutes of baking. Low-carb flours can brown quickly, so keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
