Biscuits, drop
• 120g (1 C) Almond flour - blanched - super fine
• 1 tsp xanthan gum
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp shortening or butter
• 1/2 C water
- Preheat oven to 450.
- Blend all dry ingredients well.
- Cut in shortening until mix resembles coarse corn meal and no large pieces of shortening remain.
- Add water and mix well. Let mix rest about 2 minutes.
- Divide batter into four portions.
- Drop divided portions onto greased or parchment lined baking sheet.
- Bake about 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool on baking sheet. Do not try and remove from baking sheet until cool as they will crumble into tiny pieces.
It is best to weigh almond flour when possible for consistent results.
