These Keto Biscuits are flaky tender perfection and also totally plant-based! Made the traditional Southern way without eggs. Yields 4 large or 6 small bsicuits. Nutritional information is based on a yield of 4 and is per biscuit.
In a large bowl, sift together the almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, and sea salt.
Use a box grater on the large grating side to shred the frozen butter into small pieces. Using a fork, stir the frozen butter into the sifted flour making sure to not overprocess.
Make a well in the center of the bowl and add in the flax "egg" and the almond milk. Stir well and until combined.
Dust a clean surface with a bit of almond flour and dump the dough onto the surface kneading one or two times until the dough comes together. Flatten the dough into a 2" tall disk and use a biscuit cutter or tall-sided measuring cup to cut out (while pressing straight down and not twisting) 4 large biscuits or 6 smaller ones depending on the size of your cutter.
Place the biscuits on a sheet pan and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 425° F.
Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes before serving.
