WELCOME TO DIABETIC ENJOYING FOOD

I have chosen this name for this blog because it truly states my story. I am a type II diabetic who most certainly enjoys food. When I was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago, my blood sugar level was over 400. With some oral medications, a lot of research and some trial and error, I have found that unlike my ancestors I truly can continue to enjoy food. I hope this blog will help you to also enjoy food and be healthy. Some recipes are my originals and some I have collected. Everyone reacts different to various foods. Check your blood sugar readings so you will know whether or not a recipe works for you! And feel free to take a recipe and adjust it to suit your needs.

ALMOND FLOUR BISCUITS (LOW CARB)

1 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
2 eggs
1/3 cup sour cream
4 tbsp butter, melted
1/3 cup shredded cheese, optional
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray a baking pan that is divided, such as a brownie pan, or about 9 muffin cups with a baking spray that has flour (ie Baker's Joy). Set aside. Do not use a regular baking sheet as this is a thin batter. You must use the mentioned pans or your biscuits will be flat.

In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Combine with a fork to break up all the clumps in the almond flour. Make a well in the center.

In a separate bowl, combine all the wet ingredients. Mix this mixture until smooth. It will look like egg drop soup, then too thin mashed potatoes. Keep on mixing until smooth and it looks thicker.

Add to the well in the dry ingredients and mix until blended. A silicone spatula or spoon works well for this.
If you are using cheese, stir in now.

Pour mixture into your prepared pan or muffin tins and bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.

If you make 9 biscuits, they should be about 2.5 carbs each.

Note: These are great for making breakfast sandwiches and also go good with gravy.

I found this recipe and photo on the internet. Not sure where it originated but it makes good biscuits.
