Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the shredded Cheddar cheese, melted butter, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth.
Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir until a thick batter forms.
Heat the olive oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat until a thermometer reads 350°F (175°C).
Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the beignets for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beignets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve warm as a snack or appetizer. They pair well with sour cream or a spicy dipping sauce.
