Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup Salted butter
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Erythritol
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.5 cup Ghee
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum, and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and cream cheese together in 30-second intervals until smooth. Stir in the erythritol until dissolved.
Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball. Gently flatten them slightly in your hands.
Heat the ghee in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the dough pieces.
Fry the badushas in batches until golden brown on both sides, roughly 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them onto a paper towel-lined plate.
For the glaze, combine a few tablespoons of erythritol with a teaspoon of water and a pinch of cardamom powder to form a paste. Lightly brush this glaze over each warm badusha.
Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top of the glazed badushas.
Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly badushas!
