21/4 c almond flour (or, 50-50 with hazelnut flour)
56g cold lard (much easier to weigh this out.) Butter would probably work ok, but has to be very cold. I'm not sure ghee has enough structure.
1tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 c powdered egg white
1/2 c less 1T dutch cocoa powder
1 whole egg
9 drops sweetzfree or other sweetener
2T macadamia nut oil or other neutral liquid oil
1T vanilla
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/2 tsp butter extract (if not using real butter)
Water


Cut cold fat into flour, add dry ingredients, mix well.
Separately beat egg and other wet ingredients. Add to dry ingredients.
Add cold water by T until you have a nice glopy batter. It should be wet, but hold its shape if dropped on a cookie sheet. Probably 2-5 T depending on a lot of variables.

Bake at 400 for 11 mins.
