Ingredients

2 cups Carbquik
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon xanthan gum optional
4 tablespoons cold butter cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon low-carb sweetener
⅔ cup heavy whipping cream

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Whisk together Carbquik, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using), and sweetener. Cut in butter.
Stir in heavy whipping cream until a dough begins to form.
Knead dough with your hands until no longer crumbly. Press onto a non-stick surface.
Roll the dough out or divide and form into 8 biscuit shapes. Using a biscuit cutter on the rolled dough will give the best results. Place biscuit shaped dough out on a lined baking sheet. Use a Silicone baking mat or parchment paper lining to prevent sticking.
Bake at 450°F for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden brown.

Notes

The optional xanthan gum will help prevent crumbling when used.

This recipe makes 8 large biscuits.

To make the dough quickly, a food processor is the best way cut in the cold butter by pulsing it in and mixing in the cream to form the dough.

If you aren't using a good nonstick bake pan, line the sheet pan with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

Sprinkle additional Carbquik on the surface before rolling out thee dough.

Use a biscuit cutter to get perfectly shaped small biscuits. A 2-inch cutter is recommended for thick biscuits, but a larger one will work if it's all you have.
