Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 cup erythritol (or preferred granulated sweetener)
- 3 units large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups oil for frying (such as avocado or coconut oil)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, erythritol, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the melted butter, vanilla extract, and heavy cream until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a small disk.
In a deep frying pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place a few pastries at a time into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the pastries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining pastries.
Serve the warm pastries as is or dust lightly with additional erythritol or sugar-free powdered sweetener if desired.
