Ingredients

• 150 g Almond flour
• 20 g Coconut flour
• 1 tbsp Psyllium husk powder
• 1 tsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 100 g Unsalted butter
• 2 Egg
• 2 tbsp Cold water
• 200 g Sugar-free kaya jam
• 1 Egg yolk
• 2 tbsp Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture.

Step 4

Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Add one egg and cold water to the mixture, and mix to form a dough. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, one teaspoon at a time.

Step 6

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 7

Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.

Step 8

Using a round cutter, cut out circles of dough, approximately 4 inches in diameter.

Step 9

Place about 1 tablespoon of sugar-free kaya jam onto the center of each circle.

Step 10

Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative pattern.

Step 11

Transfer the puffs to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 12

In a small bowl, mix the egg yolk and heavy cream to create an egg wash.

Step 13

Brush the egg wash over the top of each puff to create a golden finish.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before serving.
