Ingredients

• 150 g Almond flour
• 50 g Coconut flour
• 200 g Ghee (clarified butter)
• 100 g Erythritol sweetener
• 100 ml Water
• 1 tsp Lemon juice
• 1 tsp Cardamom powder
• 20 g Pistachios (chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the ghee in a non-stick pan over low heat until fully melted and hot.

Step 2

Add the almond flour and coconut flour to the ghee and stir continuously on low heat. Cook the mixture until it turns light golden brown for about 10-12 minutes, releasing a nutty aroma. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate saucepan, combine erythritol and water, stirring over low heat until the sweetener fully dissolves.

Step 4

Increase the heat and allow the syrup mixture to boil. Let it boil until it reaches a single-thread consistency or 110°C (230°F) on a sugar thermometer. To test this, dip a spoon into the syrup and pull it out—if the last drop forms a thin thread, it's ready.

Step 5

Add lemon juice to the sugar syrup and mix well. This helps prevent crystallization.

Step 6

Carefully pour the hot syrup into the ghee and flour mixture. Add cardamom powder and mix everything quickly and thoroughly until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan.

Step 7

Pour the mixture onto a greased plate or tray, smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 8

While the mixture is still warm, use a fork or your fingers to stretch and layer the mixture until it forms thin flaky strands.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped pistachios, pressing them gently into the surface.

Step 10

Allow to cool completely, then cut into square pieces and enjoy.
