Ingredients

  • 1 cup Almond Flour
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • For frying as needed Coconut Oil

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a large bowl, add the 1 cup of Almond Flour, 1/4 cup of Coconut Flour, 2 large Eggs, 1/4 cup of Coconut Sugar, and 1 tsp of Vanilla Extract.
  2. 2Stir all the ingredients together with a whisk or a fork until they are completely combined and you have a smooth batter. Make sure there are no dry pockets of flour.
  3. 3Pour enough Coconut Oil into a 25.4 cm skillet to come about 2.54 cm up the sides. Heat the oil over medium heat until it reaches 175°C. You can test if the oil is hot enough by dropping a tiny bit of batter in; it should sizzle immediately.
  4. 4Carefully drop rounded tablespoons of the batter into the hot Coconut Oil. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
  5. 5Fry the dough for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are a deep golden brown all over and sound like they are lightly crackling. They should puff up as they cook.
  6. 6Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried dough from the Coconut Oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
  7. 7Serve the Bolinho de Chuva warm.
