Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 cup Tapioca starch
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 cup Ghee (clarified butter), cold and cubed
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Raw honey
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Paleo-friendly jam
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Blend well using a whisk.
Add the cold, cubed ghee into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your hands to blend until the mixture achieves a crumbly texture.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat 2 of the eggs together with the honey and apple cider vinegar.
Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It should be thick yet slightly sticky.
Place the dough onto a piece of parchment paper, flatten it slightly with your hands, and cover it with another piece of parchment paper.
Roll the dough between the parchment papers into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Trim the edges to make it even if necessary.
With a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the rectangle into 8 triangles.
Gently roll each triangle from the base to the point, forming them into croissant shapes. Place each croissant onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, beat the remaining egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush this egg wash over each croissant to ensure a golden finish.
Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Once baked, remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
Serve warm with a generous dollop of paleo-friendly jam.
