These Cherry Almond Biscuits are a tasty paleo treat that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The recipe is easy to follow and the biscuits are delicious and satisfying. The almond flour and coconut flour give the biscuits a nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture, while the almond butter, maple syrup, and almond extract add sweetness and a hint of almond flavor. The cherries add a tart and juicy contrast to the sweet and nutty flavors of the biscuit. The sliced almonds on top add a finishing touch and make the biscuits even more visually appealing.
The history of the Cherry Almond Biscuit is a long and winding one, dating back to the early days of the American frontier. Settlers in the Midwest and Great Plains often had to make do with what they had on hand, and that often meant using local ingredients like almonds and cherries. These biscuits were a staple of the frontier diet, and they were often served with other simple dishes like fried potatoes and bacon. Over time, the Cherry Almond Biscuit became a beloved classic, and it is still enjoyed by many people today.
