Equipment

  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Cling Film
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Parchment Paper
  • 1 Egg Slicer
  • 1 Pastry Brush
  • 1 Round Cookie Cutter

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Coconut Flour
  • 2 Cups Blanched Almond Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
  • 1/4 Cup Pork Scratchings grind
  • 1/4 Cup Cup Lard
  • 1 Egg
  • Egg Yolk for brushing

Instructions
 

  • Gather all of your ingredients before starting. This will help the process go smoothly. Make sure your lard is soft, and your pork rinds are ground.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder and coconut flour. Make sure everything is evenly combined to avoid clumps.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the egg, sour cream and softened lard. Slowly mix this into the dry ingredients using a spatula until everything is well incorporated and forms a dough.
  • Transfer the dough onto cling film, shape it into a loaf and wrap it up. Place the dough in the fridge to chill for 2-3 hours, or overnight if you have the time.
  • When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Take the dough out of the fridge and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out into a rectangle about 3 cm thick. Sprinkle the ground pork rinds evenly over the dough.
  • Fold the dough in half and roll it out again into a rectangular shape. This step helps incorporate the pork rinds throughout the biscuits.
  • Cut out biscuit shapes from the dough using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. Place the biscuits on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Use an egg slicer or any other tool to create a design on the top of the biscuits for a little extra flair. This step is optional but adds a personal touch.
  • Lightly brush the tops of the biscuits with the beaten egg yolk to give them a golden, shiny finish.
  • Place the biscuits in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and firm to the touch.
  • Let the biscuits cool slightly, then serve them warm with butter, honey or your favorite gravy. Enjoy!
