Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons Stevia or your preferred low carb sweetener
- 1 cup Avocado oil (for frying)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the warm water, avocado oil, and sweetener.
Gradually incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
Knead the dough gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth, then cover with a damp towel and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Heat 1 cup of avocado oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
While the oil is heating, dust a clean surface with a little almond flour and roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 2-3 inch squares or triangles using a knife or a pizza cutter.
Fry the sopapillas in the hot oil, a few at a time, turning them as they puff up and turn golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
Sprinkle the fried sopapillas generously with ground cinnamon and, if desired, a bit more sweetener.
