Ingredients

Makes 2 biscuits

  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • A pinch of coarse kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Optional: Oregano (for a sandwich bun variation)
  • Optional: Blueberries or other fruit (for a dessert variation)

Instructions

Preparation:

  • Lightly grease two 4-inch ramekins.

Butter Mixture:

  • In each ramekin, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the microwave. Add a pinch of kosher salt and mix.

Wet Ingredients:

  • Crack an egg into each ramekin and whisk it with the butter mixture.

Dry Ingredients:

  • To each ramekin, add 1/3 cup of almond flour and 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. Whisk until smooth.

Variations:

Cooking:

  • Microwave each ramekin on high for 90 seconds.

Removal:

  • Using a towel, carefully remove the ramekins from the microwave. Run a knife around the edges of each biscuit and invert onto a cutting board. Allow to cool for a minute.

Serving:
