Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1.5 cups Grated mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Coconut oil or lard (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave on high for about 1 minute, stirring halfway through, until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 2
In a separate large bowl, mix together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients and also add the egg. Mix with a spatula until a dough forms. The dough will be sticky at first but will come together as you mix.
Step 4
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Step 5
After chilling, divide the dough into 12 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Step 6
In a deep skillet, heat the coconut oil or lard over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
Step 7
Carefully lower a few dough balls into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
Step 8
Fry each dough ball for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to turn them over and to remove them from the oil.
Step 9
Place the fried dough balls on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve warm as a snack or appetizer. Enjoy your low-carb delight!
