Hmm, Im usually trying to go the other way and make chewy biscuits so I use brown sugar instead of white, for instance as there is more moisture in brown, and I chill the dough so it doesnt spread too fast and stays thicker and chewier. I wonder if that sugar substitute is the issue -Ive never baked with anything but real sugar so not sure about that. In the meantime, maybe try baking them for longer at a lower temperature so they have more time to dry out? And make sure that the dough is warm so they spread faster on the sheet and become thinner and crispier. For the ones youve made already, maybe try baking them a second time and keep an eye on how long they take to get crispy – like how biscotti are baked twice to make them truly crunchy. And then keep them in a very good airtight container so they dont go stale.

I was making some almond healthy biscuits for my dad whos on a restrictive diet. I used about a cup of almond flour, 3/4 cup plain flour, pinch of salt, some erythroltol (sugar substitute) and a mix of melted butter and coconut oil. A few drops of alternative milk to bind. In oven for about 12 mins. They usually crisp up but I normally do a brown sugar stevia mix not the erythroltol…. Any other suggestions on how to crisp up biscuits? Thanks
Well they didnt come out of the oven stale, they just came out soft. Leave them in a little bit longer?

Why are my biscuits not cooking evenly?
First, make sure your oven is fully preheated to the correct temperature before baking. If the oven is not hot enough, the biscuits may not cook evenly. Additionally, try using a lighter-colored baking sheet or placing the biscuits on a higher rack in the oven for better heat distribution.
Name some Low GI biscuits for Diabetics?
Biscuits are not the most recommended products for diabetic patient consumption as they have flour and sugars, which are high in starch and carbohydrates. Usually, biscuits and cookies made with sugar free options and substituted with oatmeal, millet, nut and other low carbohydrate flours are the ones to opt for if you are searching for diabetic safe biscuits. Some of the low GI biscuits are: 1. Millet cookies: Millet is a healthier option to choose for and is a healthy substitute for rice, wheat and flours. They are less processed and nutritionally richer. 2. Multi-grain sugar-free biscuits: They are made of ragi, oats, wheat flour, soya, fenugreek and bajra. These biscuits are great as they have no cholesterol, zero trans-fat, have prebiotic properties and are rich in fiber. 3. Oats and almond biscuits: These are high in protein and fiber. Almonds also add a greater flavor and crunch to the healthy oats biscuits.
Why are my biscuits dry and crumbly?
Dry and crumbly biscuits can be disappointing, but this issue can often be resolved. One possibility is that the dough contains too little fat or butter. Fat helps to keep the biscuits moist, so try increasing the amount slightly.
Why are my biscuits so hard?
Tough biscuits can be the result of various factors. One common cause is overworking the dough. When the dough is overmixed or kneaded too much, it develops gluten, leading to a tougher texture. To remedy this, mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined and avoid excessive kneading.
