🧾 Ingredients
2 cups almond flour (fine, blanched)
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder (optional but 🔥)
1 cup shredded mozzarella (or cheddar for a sharper vibe)
½ cup sour cream (full fat)
1 large egg
½ cup (1 stick) butter, melted
🥣 Instructions
Heat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Melt butter and pour it into an 8×8 baking dish. Tilt to coat the bottom evenly.
In a bowl, mix almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Stir in cheese, sour cream, and egg until a thick batter forms.
Scoop/spread batter directly into the butter (don’t mix it in—let it swim 😏).
Lightly score the dough into 9 squares.
Bake 22–25 minutes, until golden on top and edges are crispy.
Optional but recommended: broil 1–2 minutes for extra browning.
✨ Pro Tips
Want fluffier? Add 1–2 tbsp heavy cream to the batter.
For herby biscuits: toss in Italian seasoning or chives.
These are elite with eggs, sausage gravy (keto), or as a dinner roll replacement.

### 🔢 Net Carbs (approx, per biscuit – 1 of 9)
* **~2–3 net carbs**
(depending on almond flour + cheese brand)
—
### 🧈 EXTRA-DECADENT VERSION
* Add **2 oz cream cheese** to the batter
Result: richer, softer, almost Red Lobster–adjacent energy.
—
### 🌶️ SAVORY VARIATIONS
* **Jalapeño Cheddar:**
Swap mozzarella for cheddar + add 1 diced jalapeño.
* **Garlic Parm:**
Add ½ tsp garlic powder + ¼ cup grated parmesan.
* **Bacon Biscuit:**
Fold in ⅓ cup cooked chopped bacon (this one is *illegal* good).

### 🍯 SWEET KETO BUTTER SWIM BISCUITS
* Skip garlic + cheese
* Add:
* 2–3 tbsp **erythritol/monk fruit**
* ½ tsp **vanilla**
* Serve with:
* keto honey drizzle
* whipped cream
* cinnamon butter 😮💨

### 🔥 COMMON FIXES (aka biscuit therapy)
* **Too dense?**
Your baking powder might be old. Keto biscuits are *divas*.
* **Greasy bottom?**
Let rest 5–10 min after baking—the butter reabsorbs.
* **Not fluffy enough?**
Add **1 extra egg white** next time.
If you want, I can:
* keto-ize a **sausage gravy** for these
* make them **air fryer–friendly**
* or push this into **cheddar bay biscuit territory** 😏
