low carb blinis

tonight dinner was low carb blinis made with almond flour. they are sooo good, I wanted to share the recipe. I used the blini recipe from ketodietapp, but then topped with creme fraiche and caviar. actually, I made a double batch and split with hubby, since the whole batch was only 10.8g net carbs it still fit within our macros. one of my best dinners. filled out dinner with a couple assorted cheeses and some salami.

1/2 cup + 1 tbsp almond flour (58 g/ 2 oz)
1/2 tsp gluten-free baking powder
pinch of pink Himalayan salt
2 large eggs (separated, whip whites)
3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk (45 ml)
1 tbsp butter, melted (15 ml)
mix all other ingredients, fold into whites. cook by teaspoon scoops for little bite-sized blinis. So cute! took much longer than 50 seconds each. 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil or ghee (add a little at a time while cooking)
