Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 Egg yolk, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt.
Add the cold, diced butter to the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs and water.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour and butter mixture. Stir until a dough forms. It will be sticky initially, but will become more workable as you continue.
Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Cover with another parchment sheet and roll out the dough into a rectangle roughly 1/4 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the rectangle into 8 triangles.
Carefully roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip, forming a crescent shape. Place each rolled croissant onto the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the croissants lightly with the beaten egg yolk to give them a golden, glossy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
Allow the croissants to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
