Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 50 grams Erythritol (or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 60 grams Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Almond slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet mixture into the almond flour mixture and stir until the dough is just combined.
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each piece into a small rectangular shape, placing them on the prepared baking sheet.
Press a few almond slices into the top of each pastry piece for decoration.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown and set.
Let the pastries cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious low carb almond pastries as a treat!
