Flaky, tender biscuits that are easy to make and don't require a ton of ingredients. These gluten-free biscuits are so tasty they need to be served alongside your next meal or smothered in creamy sausage gravy.
Low carb easy biscuit recipe
If you are looking for delicious bread to serve with your dinners, or flaky biscuits to pour a creamy sausage gravy on top, then you have found the right recipe!
These biscuits are tender and flaky. They are made with layers of butter and dough that help them rise up creating a flaky, crumbly center. The biscuits have a buttery flavor and are made with the right combination of keto-friendly flours, cream and sour cream to cut out any of the grainy texture.
These biscuits are amazing hot out of the oven with sausage gravy poured on top. They make the best biscuits and gravy. Since they are so tender when they are warm, all the creamy gravy soaks into every nook and cranny of the fluffy biscuit.
If you want a biscuit that you can hold with your hand and use to scoop up sauces and dunk into chili or soup, let these biscuits cool overnight. As they sit they will firm up and be easier to handle like a dinner roll.

Ingredients
1 1/4 cups almond flour -
1/3 cup coconut flour
-
2 tablespoons whole psyllium husk
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt

Step by Step Instructions
Step by Step Instructions
Mix dry ingredients
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients – almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
- Almond flour
- Coconut flour
- Psyllium
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Baking soda
Grate your butter
Using a cheese grater, grate frozen butter into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir to distribute, but don’t mix too much. You want the butter to be in lumps. The more the butter is still intact and not soft or melted, the flakier the biscuit will be.
- Butter
Mix
Add in the whipping cream and sour cream. Stir with a spoon to combine until just incorporated.
- Heavy cream
- Sour cream
Make a rectangle
On a piece of parchment paper, gently mold the dough into a rectangle that is 1 inch tall.
Press and fold the dough
Fold one half of the dough onto itself, hamburger style, and press into a rectangle shape that is 1 inch tall again. Continue to fold and mold into a rectangle shape four more times.
Butter and bake
Using a knife, cut the biscuits into six squares, brush each biscuit with melted butter, and place on a parchment lined baking tray or baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
Let cool
Remove from oven, and let sit on the baking tray for about 5 minutes. Using a spatula, gently transfer each biscuit to a wire rack to finish cooling. The biscuits will be very tender and delicate when they first come out of the oven, but will firm up once they cool. For a firmer biscuit, let sit overnight.
