Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 ml Water
- 50 g Unsalted Butter
- 1 pinch Pinch of Salt
- 30 g Coconut Flour
- 20 g Almond Flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Heat until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to boil.
Reduce the heat to low and add the coconut flour and almond flour to the saucepan, stirring quickly until a smooth dough forms. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the dough forms a film on the bottom of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes.
Transfer the cooled dough to a mixing bowl, and using an electric mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Once the eggs are incorporated, add the xanthan gum and continue mixing until a smooth, thick, and slightly sticky dough is achieved.
Spoon or pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, creating small mounds about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the choux pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
Fill them with a keto-friendly filling of your choice and serve for a delightful treat!
