Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt until fully combined.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the shredded Cheddar cheese, melted butter, and heavy cream. Mix until smooth.
Step 3
Slowly incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture. Stir until a thick batter forms.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat until a thermometer reads 350°F (175°C).
Step 5
Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil. Work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 6
Fry the beignets for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the beignets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm as a snack or appetizer. They pair well with sour cream or a spicy dipping sauce.
