Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk until uniform.
  • Add cold, cubed butter and work into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until frothy.
  • Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir gently. Fold in any optional ingredients.
  • Shape the dough into a round disc about 1 inch thick on a lightly floured surface.
  • Cut the disc into 8 equal wedges and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

For best results, use cold butter. Feel free to experiment with mix-ins like dried fruits and chocolate chips, but fold them in gently to avoid overmixing.
