Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- as needed Coconut oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir well until evenly mixed.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and toss to coat, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted unsalted butter, and heavy cream until smooth and slightly frothy.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well with a spatula until a uniform batter is formed.
Heat coconut oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C). You will need enough oil to submerge the beignets.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, carefully drop dollops of batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Fry the beignets for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as necessary to maintain oil temperature and prevent burning.
Remove the beignets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly cheddar cheese beignets!
