Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 0.5 cup Salted butter
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Erythritol
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Pistachios, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 0.5 cup Ghee

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and xanthan gum, and set aside.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and cream cheese together in 30-second intervals until smooth. Stir in the erythritol until dissolved.

Step 3

Add the heavy cream and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix well.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Step 5

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.

Step 6

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball. Gently flatten them slightly in your hands.

Step 7

Heat the ghee in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the dough pieces.

Step 8

Fry the badushas in batches until golden brown on both sides, roughly 3-4 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to remove them onto a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 9

For the glaze, combine a few tablespoons of erythritol with a teaspoon of water and a pinch of cardamom powder to form a paste. Lightly brush this glaze over each warm badusha.

Step 10

Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top of the glazed badushas.

Step 11

Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your keto-friendly badushas!
