Getting Started
- Use unsalted butter to control sodium levels, especially in savory dishes. Clarified butter (ghee) offers a higher smoke point for high-temperature baking, preventing bitterness.
- Compound butters are a keto baker's best friend: incorporate herbs, garlic, or spices directly into softened butter before baking to infuse maximum flavor and fat into meats or vegetables.
- For keto baked goods, ensure butter is at room temperature for creaming with low-carb sweeteners. This creates the necessary emulsion for proper texture and rise, preventing dense results.
- To achieve a golden, crispy finish on baked keto items like chicken skin or fathead dough, brush generously with melted butter or a butter-oil blend before and halfway through baking.
