Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups almond flour (superfine)

  • 3 tbsp black sesame powder (or finely ground black sesame seeds)

  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder

  • ¼ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 large egg

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted (plus more for brushing)

  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

Optional Toppings:

  • Extra cheddar for sprinkling

  • Whole black sesame seeds

  • Sea salt flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a bowl, mix almond flour, black sesame powder, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

  • Add cheddar cheese and toss to coat it evenly in the dry mix.

  • In a small bowl, whisk egg, melted butter, and heavy cream.

  • Pour wet ingredients into the dry mix. Stir until you get a thick dough that’s slightly sticky.

  • Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough for each biscuit. Shape into rounds and flatten slightly.

  • Place on the baking sheet with space between each. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle cheese or sesame seeds on top if you like.

  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the edges are firm and tops are slightly golden.

  • Cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Freshly ground sesame seeds taste better than store-bought powder.

  • Let biscuits cool before moving — they firm up as they rest.

  • For darker color, add ½ tsp activated charcoal powder (optional).

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temp or 5 days in the fridge.

  • Reheat in a toaster oven for best texture (not microwave).
