This is a basic recipe for Homemade Low Carb Biscuits.
Even though they are low in carbs, these biscuits are still really good!
Homemade Low Carb Biscuits
These biscuits are great to eat all by themselves.
However, they could also be enjoyed with gravy or even with a bit of sugar free jelly on top.
I will be using these biscuits as part of another recipe coming up.
That recipe is for a Sugar Free Monkey Bread. To be honest, I am thrilled that I can make either recipe without a bunch of sugar or carbs. I have two recipes that I will share for you here.
As mentioned, both recipes are rather simple recipe to make.
I will start with the first recipe. You will need a flour alternative. Make this recipe gluten free by using gluten free flour instead of regular flour. Or, you can make this recipe low carb by using low carb Carbalose flour. You can sub in Almond flour if Carbalose in unavailable.

The recipes for Homemade Low Carb Biscuits
For recipe 1- you will need a flour alternative. Make this recipe gluten free by using gluten free flour instead of regular flour (make sure it is low carb). Or, you can make this recipe low carb by using low carb Carbalose flour.
Can sub in Almond flour if Carbalose in unavailable.
What you will need to make this
Use Carbalose Flour to make these Homemade Low Carb Biscuits
I use this all of the time. If you have been here before you probably have seen Carbalose Flour in my recipes.
About the product
Use carbalose flour because unlike similar products, it is made mostly from wheat, yet it lacks most non fiber carbohydrates
Carbalose is a revolutionary new flour that can be used in place of wheat flour, but contains 80% less carbs. Use like regular flour in most recipes
Also, Carbalose is as close to real flour as you can get without being real flour
Finally,Carbalose flour does not contain any soy protein, sugar alcohols, dairy, animal originated, trans fatty, or saturated fat products.
Use like regular flour in most recipes.
- Low Carb Carbalose flour.- 2 cups. Can sub in Almond flour if Carbalose in unavailable.
- Baking Powder- 1 tablespoon.
- Sugar Alternative- equivalent to ½ tablespoon of sugar.I use granular.
- Butter- 1 stick (½ cup) cubed.
- Milk, buttermilk, or half and half- ⅘ of a cup. That is just under 13 tablespoons.
How to make Homemade Low Carb Biscuits.
- Preheat your oven to 400. Prep your pan for nonstick. I use parchment. You could just butter the bottom of a cast iron skillet. Also, prepare a flat surface with a bit of flour alternative or flour for preparing the dough.
- Sift or mix together your flour alternative, baking powder and sugar alternative.
- Next, cut your butter cubes into the flour.
- When the mix resembles crumbs, you can add the milk to the flour mixture. I add a half at a time, stirring between additions. This will help you monitor the moistness of your biscuits.
- When your dough is moist and pulling away from the sides of the bowl you can transfer it to the prepared flat surface from the first step.
- Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and cut into circles. ½" thickness is usually good and also prevent sticking by flouring the dough and surface.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the biscuits begin to brown.
Recipe 2- the Carbquik Recipe
This is the baking mix that contains Carbalose. Use it for biscuits, pancakes, and waffles etc.
About the product
Carbquik complete biscuit and baking mix in 5 lb resealable pouch
GREAT for Keto and Atkins Diets- 90% less carbs than the leading brands
NO SUGAR- High in fiber - Low sodium - High in protein - No Trans Fat - No Hydrogenated Oils
Thus, SUBSTITUTE this for Regular Mixes in pancakes, waffles, and use to create new recipes by adding different flavorings and seasoning.
What you will need to make Recipe 2- the Carbquik Recipe
- Carbquik- 2 cups.
- Heavy Cream, Half and Half or similar dairy- ½ cup.
- Water- 2 tablespoons.
- Butter- 2 tablespoons melted.
How to make Recipe 2- the Carbquik Recipe.
- Preheat your oven to 350 and prep your baking sheet or pan for nonstick.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the Carbquik, heavy cream, and water. When the ingredients become blended and sticks together for the most part, you can roll the dough out to cut into circles. Optionally, you can simple divide the dough evenly and roll each biscuit out by hand.
- Brush the biscuits with the melted butter and bake for 12-15 minutes or until they begin to brown.

Hi. If the nutritional data is not listed on the recipe itself, you can find it out here Thanks!

These biscuits, using Carbalose flour turned out great for me! Oh yeah! Do a little dance!
Sugar Free Diva
I am very excited for you! Thanks for letting me know how your biscuits turned out! 🙂
Cindy
Can I make these with Carbalose, but use the other ingredients plus a little sweetener and baking powder, instead of carbquik? I don't use milk anymore, and I'm concerned that the biscuits will be too greasy if I put in1/2 cup of butter, and almost a cup of heavy cream.

Hi. It is the nature for 'low carb' recipes to focus on 'fat' such as the fat in butter and heavy cream. Low carb and keto diets stress the 'fat' ingredients rather than carbohydrates because of the nature of the 'diet'. I am wondering if this recipe for Copycat Red Lobster Biscuits may work for you instead. Thanks!
