A breakfast with biscuits and hot-gravy (without flour) can be easily created with low carbohydrate ingredients, "gluten free", and method 2 uses "no" milk. The concept of your low-carb biscuit is to replace the flour and sugar with other (healthy) ingredients. Naturally you will want it to taste and look like a biscuit, with a sensible cost, and a reasonable addition to your low-carb diet. Consult your medical adviser or physician about any concerns and see the article about low carb dieting. Obviously: Children should be closely supervised in any cooking efforts. If you like this article, try low carb pancakes.
Ingredients
Protein Powder Biscuit
(The other method after this one, called "Method 2 - ...", uses no milk or water.)
- 1 egg whites or ½ whole eggs (or egg substitute),
- 2/3 cup (88g) of protein powder rather than of flour,
- About 1/4 cup (33g) of water ... or low-carb milk substitute,
- Use only enough liquid to make a semi-moist dough,
- 1/8 cup (17g) of cooking oil, or butter,
- ¼ to ½ tsp of baking soda, or baking powder,
- Sweeten, if desired with a sugar substitute (if so, use one that is for cooking),
- ¼ tsp salt, if desired or salt substitute.
- 1 TBS butter or cooking oil to add to the cookie sheet, skillet or griddle.
The recipe makes about 6 of small biscuits.
Almond Flour Biscuit - Milk Free
This low carb method uses almond flour -- but no milk, the only liquid is from the egg whites and butter; it makes a somewhat crispy edged "biscuit" as made in the video.[1]
- 1 Cup plus 2 tablespoons of almond flour
- 1 Teaspoon (tsp) "Aluminum Free" baking powder
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 2 Tablespoons (TBS) cold "Grass Fed" butter (unsalted)
- ¾ Cup egg whites (from 3 large eggs)
Steps
Steps for Method 1
- Choose a protein powder that your like. You can find a number of kinds at a good grocery store or drugstore.
- Measure the ingredients that you need. Place the ingredients into a bowl. Stir the dry ingredients together first. Add the liquid ingredients. Mix well.
- Spread the 1 TBS butter or cooking oil on the ‘’’barely warm’’’ cookie sheet or skillet.
- Spoon up and drop the biscuits onto the oiled or buttered (barely warm) surface and:
- Mash them slightly with a buttered or oiled spoon or with fingers, if you like.
- You do not have to roll them out or “cut” them;
- You might use a small empty can with one end removed to cut biscuits perfectly round, etc.
- If you will be cooking on a skillet, rather than in an oven -- heat the surface until a drop of water will skip, dance and jump about, or to 350°F (180°C) about medium-high heat.
- Bake the biscuits for about 10 to 15 minutes (depending on the thickness and the amount of liquid) or cook the biscuits on each side in a skillet: on the 1st side wait about 30 seconds (you might double check to see that they are not burning by turning them repeatedly).
- Experiment with the time in the oven and on each side in the skillet depending on the heat of the oven or surface.
- Finished.
Steps for Method 2
- Preheat your oven to 400°F.
- Mix the dry ingredients: almond flour, aluminum baking powder and salt together.
- Add butter and mix using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture is crumbly.
- Whisk the eggs until they are frothy, then mix them with the almond flour mixture until combined.
- Place batter in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes, because the batter will be thin.
- Divide the batter into 4 or 6 portions (depending on how big you want your biscuits) and place them in a well-greased muffin top pan.
- Bake right away for 10-12 minutes. Remove when golden brown.
- Makes 4-6 biscuits.

Tips, for Method 2
- If you wish the baking items, they were (may be still?) obtained at Amazon.com: "Muffin Top Pan", "Almond Flour", "Pastry Cutter" also called "Dough Blender", "Aluminum Free Baking Powder", "Sea Salt", "Grass Fed Butter".
- The links to those items, used with the recipe, are in the video description, by clicking "Read More".
Tips
These tips were in original method 1.
- You may wish to try an unsweetened, plain protein powder, or a protein drink powder (as if it is flour).
- Vary the ingredients like adding cinnamon, fruit, nuts, or crumbles of pre-cooked meat.
- You might use sour cream (with some water), or butter-milk, instead of other milk type products.
- You may wish to top the cooked biscuit with a sugar-free syrup or sugar-free preserves.
- Cook it with less egg and thicker, then it can be split open and toasted, etc...
- For thinner biscuits add a little more milk or water. For thicker biscuits add less liquid ingredients.
- Try delicious low carb pancakes and you might pray about dieting.
Warnings
- Protein powders come from several sources like soy protein, milk whey protein, egg protein (read the labels).
- If you may have any illness for example heart-trouble or diabetes, you should consult your physician about the use of eggs, protein powders or sugar and sugar substitutes or any other ingredients in question.
- Avoid foods to which you may be allergic (egg, soy, milk, etc.)
- Soy milk and soy flour are not low-carb.
- Baking soda is a high sodium product, 1/4 tsp contains 300mg of sodium (sodium bicarbonate).
- Table salt is a sodium product (sodium chloride).
- You may like a recipe for regular sugared pancakes and to use lots of sugar or honey, sounds dangerous!?
- The recipe and its ingredients are only a suggestion and should NOT be used as a substitute for your common sense, religious practices or competent medical advice.
- Be careful not to burn yourself with the hot surface or by splashing oil.
