Lupin flour is a flour from Austrailia, made from a legume called lupin. It is related to peanuts, so if you have an allergy to peanuts, I would steer clear of lupin flour.
These keto lupin flour biscuits are my first recipe using this ingredient. I just wanted to make a biscuit that would taste similar to a biscuit. This definitely did the trick. When mixing up the batter, I tasted it and it had a hint of a bean sprout flavor. I was worried that this is what the outcome would be, but I was pleasantly surprised that there was no “off” flavors what-so-ever.
The batter was pretty thick, with help from the xantham gum. I baked the biscuits in my silicone muffin pan. I have gotten so much use out of this thing in the past month that I have owned it. So much, that I think I need to get a second one.
These keto lupin flour biscuits are pretty basic. Feel free to dress it up with cheese, meats, flavors or whatever. Trust me, I will be playing with this recipe more in the future!

In the recipe you note 1 tablespoon of butter but in the instructions you say 3 tablespoons. Which is it?
The three tablespoons of melted butter go into the batter. The one tablespoon of cold butter goes (divided among the biscuits) on top prior to baking.
Do you really need sweeteners for biscuits?
It helps with the flavor, but feel free to leave it out.
Does the heavy cream not have carbs?
Heavy whipping cream has 6.6 grams of carbs per cup. When divided up amongst 12 biscuits, there about 0.5 gram of carbohydrates per biscuit due to the cream.
