Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Electric Hand Mixer
- Baking sheet
- Cookie Scoop (optional)
Ingredients
Low Carb Sweet Biscuit
- 3 tablespoons cold butter cut into cubes
- ½ cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit/erythritol sweetener powdered
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 large egg
Sweetened Glazed Strawberries
- 2 cups fresh strawberries sliced
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit/erythritol sweetener powdered
Low Carb Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream whipped
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons monk fruit/erythritol sweetener powdered
Instructions
Low Carb Sweet Biscuit
- In a large mixing bowl, add coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, monk fruit/erythritol sweetener, salt, and cold butter. Blitz quickly with an electric hand mixer until your butter is incorporated but not melted. It should be a fairly crumbly looking mixture.
- Add sour cream, and beat in your eggs one at a time using an electric hand mixer. Beat until your biscuit dough has combined .
- Quarter your dough and using a scoop or a spoon, place your dough on a parchment lined baking sheet in 2-3" sized biscuit. They will not change shape much so make them the size you want the biscuits to be
- Bake is a 350°F oven for 20 minutes, or until they just begin to turn golden brown, remove from oven and let cool on a baking rack.
- Store extra biscuit covered in the fridge.
Sweetened Glazed Strawberries
- Top and slice fresh strawberries to desired size and sprinkle with powdered sweetener. Combine well and store covered in fridge until ready to use.
Whipped Cream
- Add heavy whipping cream, sweetener, and vanilla, to a large bowl and beat with a hand mixer or similar until your cream stiffens and becomes thick and pillowy. Store covered int he fridge until ready to use.
Serve & Enjoy
- Slice your biscuit in half creating a top and bottom. On the bottom add a few spoonfuls (1/4 cup) of sweetened glazed strawberries, and 1/4 cup of fresh whipped cream.
- Add top biscuit and finish off with more glazed strawberries and whipped cream (1/4 cup of each)
Notes
- Using cubes cold butter will help make perfect low carb biscuits. See post above for photos and details
- Using other low carb sweeteners is possible but may take some experimenting to get the sweetness right
