Shortbread
On July 12, 2021 by ElizSHORTBREAD I have tried so many recipes to try to find a way of making a keto version of shortbread that not only tastes like sweet, buttery, shortbread, but also has the crumbly dry texture of regular shortbread.

Sweet Scones
On May 29, 2021 by ElizSWEET SCONES
I’ve tried a few keto scone recipes, but have had to merge three recipes to get something that works with my preferred ingredients and that I actually like. So here it is: Probably the best keto scone recipe! They are slightly sweet and slightly moist with a great crumb, but not dry and crumbly. They are fantastic with just butter and equally delicious served with keto Strawberry Jam (from this blog) and lashings of whipped cream.
