Carnivore Smoked Salmon Biscuits with zero carbs
Ingredients:
- 4 oz smoked salmon, chopped (or more if you prefer a stronger flavor)
- 2 cups almond flour (low-carb option)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup melted butter or ghee (for a dairy-free option)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (for a richer texture) or unsweetened coconut milk for dairy-free
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (make sure it’s gluten-free if necessary)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh dill or chives for garnish
- Optional: A few drops of lemon juice (adds a bright, fresh flavor)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the wet ingredients:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, and heavy cream (or coconut milk). Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
-
Add the dry ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour and baking powder. Make sure the almond flour is sifted to avoid lumps.
-
Combine:
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until the dough comes together. It will be slightly sticky but should hold its shape when you form it.
-
Add the smoked salmon:
- Gently fold the chopped smoked salmon into the dough. Optionally, add a little fresh dill or chives for extra flavor.
-
Shape the biscuits:
- Using your hands, shape the dough into 8-10 small biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. If you like, you can use a spoon or ice cream scoop for uniform sizes.
-
Bake:
- Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until they are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
-
Serve:
- Let the biscuits cool slightly on a wire rack. You can serve them as-is or with a drizzle of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream (optional).
Tips:
- Smoked salmon: If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the smoked salmon into the dough or chop it finer.
- Storage: These biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
These zero-carb smoked salmon biscuits are a perfect savory breakfast or snack for anyone following a carnivore or keto diet! Enjoy!
