FAQs

What makes these biscuits keto-friendly?

These biscuits are made with almond flour and mozzarella cheese, both of which are low in carbohydrates, making them suitable for a keto diet.

Can I use a different type of cheese?

While mozzarella provides the best texture, you can experiment with other cheeses like cheddar or gouda for a different flavor profile.

Do I need a muffin tin to bake these biscuits?

Using a muffin tin helps the biscuits maintain their shape and rise. However, you can bake them freeform on a baking sheet; they may spread more but will still taste delicious.

How can I make these biscuits dairy-free?

To make these biscuits dairy-free, substitute the butter with a plant-based butter alternative and use dairy-free cheese.

Can I add herbs or spices to the dough?

Absolutely! Adding herbs like rosemary or spices like garlic powder can enhance the flavor of your biscuits.

How do I prevent the biscuits from becoming too dry?

Ensure that you don’t overbake the biscuits. Baking them just until golden brown will keep them moist and tender.

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dough and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.

Are these biscuits suitable for a gluten-free diet?

Yes, since they are made with almond flour and do not contain any wheat-based ingredients, they are gluten-free.

How do I know when the biscuits are done?

The biscuits are done when they are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.

Can I use these biscuits for sandwiches?

Yes, these biscuits are sturdy enough to be split and used for breakfast sandwiches or as a side for soups and stews.
