Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup tapioca starch
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1 cup chilled ghee
• 1 large egg
• 3 tablespoons cold water
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Start by chilling the ghee in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before preparing the pastry.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Grate the chilled ghee into the flour mixture using a box grater. This will help incorporate the ghee into the flour, creating a flaky texture.

Step 4

Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend the ghee into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 5

Beat the egg in a small bowl, then add it to the flour and ghee mixture. Stir well to incorporate.

Step 6

Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork after each addition until the dough begins to come together. It should be soft but not sticky.

Step 7

Lightly knead the dough on a floured surface (using more almond or tapioca flour if needed) and shape it into a ball.

Step 8

Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow it to rest and firm up.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/8 inch thick.

Step 11

Roll the dough up tightly into a log beginning from one long side, similar to how you would roll cinnamon rolls.

Step 12

Cut the log into 8 equal pastry rolls and place them cut side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pastry rolls are golden brown and flaky.

Step 14

Allow them to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

Step 15

Enjoy these Whole30 flaky pastry rolls as a delightful snack or addition to any meal!
