Getting Started
- Keto flours like almond and coconut burn faster than wheat flour. Bake at 160-175°C (325-350°F) for most goods, monitoring closely. Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and over-browning.
- For intense cardamom aroma, gently toast whole green cardamom pods in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before grinding. This releases their essential oils. Add freshly ground cardamom towards the end of mixing to retain potency.
- Cardamom has a naturally sweet and floral note. When using erythritol or monk fruit, start with slightly less sweetener than usual and adjust. Too much sweetener can lead to a cooling sensation or bitterness.
- Keto flours absorb a lot of moisture. Incorporate fats like butter, cream cheese, or avocado oil, and ensure adequate eggs or liquid to prevent dry results. Baking delicate items like custards in a water bath maintains humidity.
