Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0 as needed Coconut oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Stir well until evenly mixed.
Step 2
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the dry ingredients and toss to coat, ensuring the cheese is evenly distributed.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted unsalted butter, and heavy cream until smooth and slightly frothy.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well with a spatula until a uniform batter is formed.
Step 5
Heat coconut oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat to about 350°F (175°C). You will need enough oil to submerge the beignets.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, carefully drop dollops of batter into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Fry the beignets for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as necessary to maintain oil temperature and prevent burning.
Step 8
Remove the beignets from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy your keto-friendly cheddar cheese beignets!
