Prep Your Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F / 177°C. Thoroughly grease 8 cups (1920 ml) of a standard 12-cup nonstick muffin pan to prevent sticking.
Combine Dry : In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, fine sea salt, and the pinch of cayenne pepper until uniform.
Add Wet and Cheese: Reserve about ¼ cup of the shredded cheddar for topping.
Add the remaining cheese, beaten eggs, and softened butter to the dry . Use a rubber spatula to mix until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
Portion and Top: Divide the dough evenly among the 8 greased muffin cups. Each cup should be about two-thirds full.
Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese over the top of each biscuit.
Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The biscuits are done when they have risen significantly and are a beautiful golden brown on top.
Cool and Serve: Let the biscuits cool in the pan for a few minutes before carefully turning them out onto a wire rack. For the ultimate experience, serve them warm with a generous pat of salted butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Don't overmix the dough.
Mix just until the are combined. Overmixing can lead to dense, tough biscuits.
Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can affect how it melts and incorporates into the dough. For the best cheesy flavor and texture, buy a block and shred it yourself.
Add fresh herbs for extra flavor. A tablespoon of finely chopped chives, rosemary, or thyme can be mixed into the dough for a delicious herbal note.
