Ingredients
- 120 ml Water
- 50 g Unsalted Butter
- 1 pinch Pinch of Salt
- 30 g Coconut Flour
- 20 g Almond Flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt. Heat until the butter is melted and the mixture begins to boil.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and add the coconut flour and almond flour to the saucepan, stirring quickly until a smooth dough forms. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the dough forms a film on the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the dough to cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Transfer the cooled dough to a mixing bowl, and using an electric mixer, beat in the eggs one at a time. Ensure each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Step 6
Once the eggs are incorporated, add the xanthan gum and continue mixing until a smooth, thick, and slightly sticky dough is achieved.
Step 7
Spoon or pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, creating small mounds about 2 inches apart to allow for expansion.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the choux pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Step 9
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
Step 10
Fill them with a keto-friendly filling of your choice and serve for a delightful treat!
