SCD Recipe: Cheddar Biscuits

These may be one of my favorite baked goods I have made.

2 1/2 cups almond flour
1 rounded tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 – 1/2 cup shredded or cubed sharp cheddar cheese
2 eggs
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup softened butter
1 tsp lemon juice


Preheat oven to 350 degrees
.
Sift almond flour once (after measuring) into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the rest of the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl whisk the eggs, honey, butter and lemon juice. Add the wet mixture to the almond flour mixture and mix until well combined.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Drop biscuit dough onto the cookie sheet by rounded tablespoons about two inches apart. You can make them fairly big. I ended up with twelve biscuits. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and the tops are set. I baked mine for 15 minutes and then moved them to the top rack of the oven for 3 or 4 more minutes so the tops would finish without burning the bottoms.

Normally I grate the cheese, but I only had Tillamook sharp cheddar singles so I broke them into pieces (about 1 and 1/2 slices). This made little pockets of melted cheese, which I thought was really good.

  5. I am allergic to almonds and I need to be on the SCD for UC. Can I substitute Coconut flour for the almond flour?

    • You can definitely use coconut flour to make biscuits, but you won’t be able to directly substitute in this recipe. You will need to fine a coconut flour recipe. I don’t use coconut flour that much, so I don’t know one off hand.
