This uses Almond Meal? I just want to make sure you are using Meal. I am surprised since the fine flour is lighter. Anyway looks so good.

Hmmm...not sure why some spread out...Hi Charlotte,<br /><br />Hmmm...not sure why some spread out on you. Do you use Honeyville blanched almond flour? I think it's more fine and absorbent than say, Bob's Red Mill, etc. If you did use it then I am really puzzled. Did you cut in your butter and cream cheese fairly well where it was crumbly looking before adding the buttermilk? Those are the only things I can think of that might have affected the consistency of your dough. Let me know. Hope she likes them anyway! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-68182413155682985142016-02-10T11:02:20.679-05:002016-02-10T11:02:20.679-05:00I finally got around to making these for our great...I finally got around to making these for our great granddaughter.

So happy you enjoy them. I general...Thanks Debbie,<br /><br />So happy you enjoy them. I generally don't post nutritional information because it is only accurate if you use the exact same ingredients and amounts as well as make the same number of servings. For instance when I make these biscuits, depending on how I scoop, sometimes I get 15...others 18 and it can vary. Regardless, this entire recipe (TOTAL) has approximately 51 net carbs (or 2.8 net carbs each if you make 18; 3.4 net carbs each if you make 15). The total grams of sugar is approximately 6.4 for the ENTIRE recipe, so less than 1/2 gram sugar each regardless of 15 or 18. Here is the recipe calculator I like to use: http://www.caloriecount.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php (Also, beware of nutritional information numbers on some sites...they can often be skewed to appear lower in carbs, etc. by basing it on unrealistic portion sizes...you know, the size which might satisfy a mosquito). ;-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-12065406680326639392015-06-05T18:24:25.891-04:002015-06-05T18:24:25.891-04:00Love these biscuits!

I got to make your Buttermilk Biscuits #2...Hi GGC!<br /><br />I got to make your Buttermilk Biscuits #2 (Improved) tonight and, like everyone else commenting, they are wonderful!! <br /><br />I couldn't find my pastry blender so didn't get the butter and cream cheese as evenly distributed into the almond flour dry mixture as it should have been - I did have some little pieces of cream cheese showing in the baked biscuits. Also, at least 1/3 of my almond flour was almond meal, but the texture was still very nice. I've got to order some more Honeyville!<br /><br />When looking for my pastry cutter, I kept thinking that I would likely find it later. Sure enough, and not all that much later! Like while the biscuits were in-the-oven-baking-later and I was getting out of same drawer my silicone brush for buttering the biscuit tops shortly! I even lifted up a set of measuring cups that were sitting inside the pastry cutter as it was laying on the bottom of the drawer. Duh. Oh well, at least now I know where it is and I will be making these again!!<br /><br />Will probably have to put these in the freezer or I likely won't be a good girl. (Oops!) It has been so long since I've had a buttermilk biscuit and they, like cornbread, are (were) bit faves in my past food life.<br /><br />Thank you for all your fabulous recipes and all that you share. <br /><br />Alice B.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071353485775352700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-84074875324670724442015-01-10T23:20:10.403-05:002015-01-10T23:20:10.403-05:00Thanks Dawn!

They turned out well and would have tasted great - except for that over-the-top baking soda taste. But I just wasn't enjoying eating them at all. Well, yesterday I was looking up the recipe for stuffing bread cubes, and while reading the intro saw the comment about how some people use old biscuits for their stuffing/dressing. A lightbulb went off! :) I looked up several biscuit stuffing recipes, and now plan to make that as my alternate to the cornbread stuffing my sister-in-law will be bringing on Thurs! :) I already have the biscuits all broken up and toasted til dry, ready to go!(they toasted up at 400F in about 15 min) I think they'll work out phenomenally! :)Cheryl Pnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-11346151701109495032014-11-02T22:09:20.881-05:002014-11-02T22:09:20.881-05:00Hi Michele,

Add 1-1/2 teaspoons white vinegar OR lemon juice to your measuring cup and then fill to the 1/2 cup mark...let sit 5 to 10 minutes and "voila"...you have buttermilk substitute. The acidity in buttermilk (or in the faux version) helps with rise. :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316245779890747698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-24143150942863382592014-09-13T19:56:38.749-04:002014-09-13T19:56:38.749-04:00Can I use heavy cream instead of buttermilkCan I use heavy cream instead of buttermilkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
