I think that this is a recipe that you will either love or... not so much :-) I’ve been working more and more with gluten free alternatives to classical flour-based recipes. This recipe uses almond flour to create the base for the biscuits, and then a few more ingredients; including vinegar to finish them up… but more on that later. They have a very nutty taste that is quite different than a typical biscuit. So, you ready… let’s get into the kitchen.

    Chef’s Note: Whenever possible, I usually try to buy ingredients from our local farmer’s markets, and I always attempt to purchase organic items. In today’s world of pesticides, chemicals and GMO’s, I really try to put the healthiest things into my body, and the bodies of my clients.

    Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat your oven to 330f (165c).

    Sift 2.5 cups of almond flour into a large mixing bowl.

    Chef’s Tip: Almond flour, if not properly stored, can turn rancid. Make sure you use only the freshest almond flour… Or any flour, for that matter.
  • 7
    Add a level measure of baking soda, and salt.
  • 8
    Whisk to combine.
  • 9
    Add the eggs, honey, and cider vinegar to a small bowl and then whisk to combine.

    Chef’s Note: Why add vinegar? Well, the addition of an acid when using baking soda creates a chemical reaction and aids in the rising of the dough.
  • 11
    Add the egg mixture to the almond flour.
  • 12
    Stir with a wooden spoon until you form dough that is slightly wet.
  • 13
    Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet, and use a spoon to drop the biscuits onto the baking sheet.
