Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (Whole30-compliant)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Ghee, chilled and cubed
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Apple cider vinegar
- 3 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to remove any lumps.
Add the chilled ghee cubes to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut the ghee into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the apple cider vinegar and water.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spatula until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface (use almond flour) and gently knead it. Shape the dough into a rectangle.
Fold the dough over itself in thirds like a letter. Rotate 90 degrees and roll it out again into a rectangle. Repeat the folding process two more times.
Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into triangles with a sharp knife.
Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle to form a croissant shape. Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the croissants are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Whole30, low-carb croissants warm for the best texture.
