Delicious Grain-Free Cheddar Biscuits

finally… school has begun in the brown house.

the curse and the blessing of homeschooling is that the timetable is all our own. truly, i love being able to call the shots on our calendar, making room for life and family where we need to, without having to be beholden to a school board. this has proven invaluable in this ever-changing, nomadic life we have been living these days. but it also means, i’ve gotta make it happen.

and make it happen i have! this week, school has started.

i’m not gonna lie… somehow, over the course of the few months of summer, our skills have lapsed a bit. while my son is struggling to remember how to make a cursive “k”, i’m limping along with the schedule of things. it’s no joke, trying to teach a 4th grader, work with a pre-kindergartner on some legit phonics, and keep a toddler happy and entertained. it’s not for the faint of heart.

i know we’ll find our stride. hopefully sooner than later. and maybe i’ll find some free time to get a little bit of work done too!

which reminds me that i want to share a recipe with you that is not only super delicious, but also a great one to make the day go by easier for everyone. these delicious grain-free cheddar biscuits are a great breakfast, a great dinner accessory (think fall soups and old-fashioned backyard stew!), and for a grain-free sandwich bread option for a lunchbag.

there are a handful of recipes i make a whole lot from this site. typically, i like to try something new, maybe even shoot it and post it here. but this is one i really, truly make a ton of. this and the original recipe, these grain-free biscuits.

if you are gluten- or grain-free and you love/miss biscuits… don’t delay. these really are incredible. and if you aren’t gluten- or grain-free and you love biscuits… you won’t even believe your tastebuds with these. and i’ll bet you may even like these more. that’s how serious i am about these guys. lemme know what you think…

Delicious Grain-Free Cheddar Biscuits

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup arrowroot starch
• 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/3 cup nonhydrogenated vegetable shortening (such as spectrum)
• 1/3 cup chopped Cheddar cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Combine almond flour, arrowroot starch, baking powder, salt, xanthan gum, and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir in shortening until mixture resembles coarse meal.
3. Stir in Cheddar cheese. Stir in heavy cream until a dough form.
4. Turn out dough onto a surface lightly sprinkled with arrowroot starch. Knead just a bit to smooth out dough.
5. Lightly press dough to about 2-inches thickness. Using a 2 1/2-inch cutter, cut biscuits out of dough and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Combine and press out scraps to re-cut until all dough is used.
6. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes or until biscuits are golden.
