Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 4 tablespoons Melted ghee or coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- enough for shallow frying Oil for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, almond milk, melted ghee or coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a little more almond milk.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat until hot but not smoking. You can test the temperature by dropping a small bit of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Using a ladle, carefully pour the batter into the hot oil, forming a circular shape. The sel roti should be about 3-4 inches in diameter.
Fry until the underside turns golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip the sel roti using a slotted spoon and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked.
Once cooked, remove the sel roti from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring the oil maintains an even temperature.
Serve the low-carb sel roti warm, either plain or with your favorite chutney or dip.
