MAKES 16 BISCUITS

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature, for greasing
• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ cup almond flour
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste
• Pinch of turbinado sugar (optional)

Equipment

• 8 × 8-inch baking dish
• Food processor
• Offset spatula
• Parchment paper (optional)

1. Set an oven rack in the middle position and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease the baking dish with butter and set aside.
2. Pulse both flours, the granulated sugar, and salt in the bowl of a food processor to combine.
3. Add the butter and vanilla and pulse until the dough resembles wet sand.
4. Transfer the dough into the baking dish, evenly smoothing it with an offset spatula.
5. Using your hands, firmly press the mixture into the dish to flatten the mixture. If the mixture is too sticky, lay a piece of parchment paper on top of the dough during this process.
6. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the top is lightly golden.
7. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the pinch of turbinado sugar, and let cool before cutting. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
