Ingredients
- 2½ cups blanched almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup butter or coconut oil, melted
- 1 tablespoon pure honey
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 pound fresh ripe strawberries (or thawed frozen berries)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Optional: Whipped Coconut Cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- For the Biscuits: In a small bowl, combine almond flour, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter or coconut oil and honey until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla, whisking together until well combined. Using a spoon, stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture until thoroughly combined. Place dough in fridge to cool about 10 minutes.
- For the Strawberry Topping: Slice the strawberries and toss with honey. If using, prepare the whipped coconut cream. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Once biscuit dough is chilled, scoop a large spoonful of batter into your hands and roll into a ball about the size of an apricot; repeat until you have made six. Place the dough balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet and gently flatten using the palm of your hand.
- Bake about 15 minutes, until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- Split the warm biscuits in half and top with a couple of heaping spoonfuls of strawberry topping and a dollop of whipped coconut cream, if desired. A delightful treat for breakfast or dessert!
By the way, if fresh or frozen strawberries aren’t available in your neck of the woods, there’s no need to fret. This is one delightful recipe that you can truly enjoy year-round. That’s because these tasty biscuits are perfect topped with virtually any fruit of your choice.
In the winter, when kiwi fruit is in peak season, there’s nothing as wonderful as topping these delightful biscuits with fresh sliced kiwi and bananas. And when summer arrives, we love to pile on fresh sliced peaches, or mounds of summer berries, such as raspberries and blackberries.
So whichever seasonal fruit tickles your fancy, I hope these special Southern-style shortcake biscuits become a cherished favorite in your home too!
