Parmesan Almond Biscuits

Contributed by: Melinda

These are outrageously simple and they're delicious with chicken soup. Almond meal is difficult to measure so weight is most accurate.

What you need

  1. 8 oz. almond meal or 2 mounded cups
  2. 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan or romano cheese plus extra for dusting
  3. 1 tsp onion powder or 1 Tbl minced scallion or chives
  4. 1 Tbl dry milk powder (optional)
  5. 2 tsp baking powder
  6. 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  7. 4 Tbl cold butter, cut into small dice
  8. 3 large eggs, well beaten
  9. Freshly ground black pepper (I use coarse grind)

How to make it

  1. Preheat oven to 400º
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  3. Combine almond meal, cheese, onion, dry milk, salt, pepper to taste and baking powder
  4. Cut in butter (you can use your finger tips) until mixture forms a meal that clumps slightly when squeezed
  5. Stir in eggs - the mixture should be stiff, but not at all dry
  6. Use and ice cream scoop balls of batter and place on parchment paper, leaving two inches between
  7. Press down lightly with your palm to flatten a bit
  8. Dust tops with a little grated cheese and black pepper
  9. Reduce heat to 350º
  10. Bake 15-20 minutes or until cooked through and browned on top

Freshly ground black pepper is strong, so be cautious until you know how much you like.

Makes 10-12 standard sized biscuits
