Ingredients
  

For the Biscuit Dough
  • 1 cup Ricotta Cheese provides creaminess and moisture; cottage cheese can be used, but texture will differ.
  • 1/2 cup Sugar adds sweetness to balance flavors; no substitution recommended for desired sweetness.
  • 1/4 cup Softened Butter ensures tenderness of the biscuits; for a lighter version, use coconut oil.
  • 1 cup Almond Flour contributes a nutty flavor and texture; regular all-purpose flour can be used but may alter taste slightly.
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour provides structure to the biscuits; substitute with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free version.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder helps the biscuits rise; ensure it's fresh for proper leavening.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt enhances the flavor of other ingredients; no substitutions needed.
For the Topping
  • 1/2 cup Almond Slices add an extra crunch and nutty layer; you can also sprinkle with cinnamon for added warmth.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy ricotta cheese, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of softened butter; mix until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of almond flour, 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the creamy ricotta mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it to a thickness of about ½ inch; cut into strips approximately 1 inch wide and twist into spirals.
  6. Place the twisted strips onto your prepared baking sheet and sprinkle almond slices generously on top.
  7. Bake the biscuits for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and spring back slightly when pressed.
  8. Let the biscuit twists cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
