Biscuits
These are a multi-purpose biscuit that is good for open-faced "sandwiches" like Sloppy Joes or to bake on top of your Chicken Pot Pie. With a quick pinch of cinnamon and a sweetener, these make good biscuits for strawberry shortcake.
Makes 12 small biscuits
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/3 cup lard, cold (or butter)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs, beaten
Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, cut lard into almond flour using a fork, knife or pastry blender. Mix until the dough forms pea-sized crumbles. Stir in baking powder, salt and eggs. Mix to combine. Drop by spoonfuls on a lined baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes until very lightly browned (be sure not to overcook). Allow to cool about 15 minutes before serving.
