Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, whisk dry ingredients.
Add cold shortening into dry ingredients, and using a fork or pastry blender, cut shortening into flour until the mixture has pea-sized chunks throughout.
Chill mixture for 10 minutes (NOTE: This is very important – the colder the fat is, the fluffier your biscuits will be.)
Meanwhile, whisk egg whites with a fork in a bowl until foamy.
Remove mixture from fridge and whisk in the egg whites – you want a runny dough with chunks of almond mixture.
Pour it into greased foil-lined ramekins or a muffin top pan and transfer to hot oven immediately.
For ramekins, bake 15 minutes. For muffin top pan, bake 12 minutes.

I made this for dinner last night ... LOVED it! Light and fluffy .. delicious! My husband really liked them too (but, I didn't tell him they were "special") ... if I did, he would have automatically found something wrong with them. I will definately make these again!
