Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons Erythritol sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Water
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter and water. Heat over medium heat until the butter has melted and the mixture begins to boil.
Step 2
Remove the saucepan from heat. Add almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol sweetener, baking powder, and salt to the saucepan, stirring vigorously until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Place the saucepan back on low heat, stirring continuously for about 2 minutes until the mixture forms a ball and pulls away from the sides of the pan.
Step 4
Transfer the dough into a mixing bowl and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add one egg at a time to the cooled dough, beating well after each addition until the dough is smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 6
Spoon the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Step 7
Cut squares of parchment paper. Pipe rings of dough onto each square, about 3 inches in diameter.
Step 8
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
Step 9
Carefully place the crullers (paper side up) into the hot oil. After a few seconds, you can remove the parchment paper with tongs.
Step 10
Fry each cruller for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and puffed up.
Step 11
Remove from oil using a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
Step 12
Cool slightly before serving, enjoying them as is or with a light glaze of your choice.
