Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Can I use a different type of flour instead of almond flour?
Almond flour is key for a gluten-free and low-carb recipe. However, you can use other gluten-free flours like coconut flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend. Note that different flours may require adjustments in liquid content. - Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, scoop the dough onto a baking sheet and bake as directed. - What can I substitute for sour cream?
You can use Greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative like coconut yogurt if you prefer a dairy-free version. The flavor and texture may vary slightly. - Can I make these biscuits dairy-free?
Yes, substitute the butter with a dairy-free margarine or coconut oil, and use dairy-free cheese and a plant-based yogurt or sour cream alternative. - How can I make these biscuits spicier?
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, or diced jalapeños to the dough for an extra kick of heat. - Can I use a different type of sausage?
Absolutely! You can substitute turkey sausage with chicken, pork, or plant-based sausage. Just make sure it’s fully cooked and drained before adding it to the dough. - How do I store and reheat these biscuits?
Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 350ºF (175ºC) for 5-7 minutes or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until warmed through. - Can I freeze these biscuits?
Yes, these biscuits freeze well! Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven for the best texture. - What can I serve with these biscuits?
These biscuits pair wonderfully with soups, stews, salads, or as a breakfast option with eggs and fruit. They also make a great snack on their own! - How do I prevent the biscuits from becoming too dry?
Ensure you do not overbake the biscuits, as this can lead to a dry texture. Also, make sure the turkey sausage is well-drained, but not too dry, to maintain moisture in the dough.
