Keto Burger and Fries

This is the best keto burger I've made so far. The coconut flour bun came out light and fluffy and the fries came out well using the grass-fed tallow. Feel free to make the beef patties and top it any way you like, burgers are flexible. This is just what I did today. Use chicken breast dipped in egg and then dipped in ground pork rinds and topped with Chosen Foods Chicken Sauce for a keto chicken sandwich. If you can't get celery root you can use a rutabaga, but I much prefer the taste of celery root. As a last resort you can use a turnip, but I don't personally like turnip fries. Make sure to use psyllium husk powder and not the whole husks. If the dough can't be shaped into a ball, you can add a little extra coconut flour. It will be most moist if the dough is slightly sticky. You can spray oil on your hand to handle the dough.

Ingredients:

Hamburger Bun:

• 13g (1.5 tbsp) coconut flour
• 5g (2 tsp) psyllium husk powder
• 2.3g (½ tsp) baking powder
• 0.8g (1/8 tsp) salt
• 1 large egg
• 12g (1 tbsp) extra virgin olive oil
• 15g (1 tbsp) boiling water
• 0.4g (about 1/4 tsp) apple cider vinegar
• Optional: Sesame seeds for topping

  Burger:

• 120g (4 oz) ground beef
• Burger seasoning
• 1 slice cheddar cheese
• 1/4 of an onion, diced
• 3 pickles
• 1 slice iceberg lettuce
• Keto friendly burger sauces(like Chosen Foods Burger Sauce or Sugar-free Ketchup)

  Fries:

• 3 ounces of celery root, cut to the size of McDonald's fries
• 5g (1 tsp) Grass-fed tallow
• Fine ground Himalayan pink salt, too taste.

Procedure:

• Hamburger Bun: In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, psyllium husk, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the oil and apple cider vinegar. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet, then add boiling water. Stir well—let the dough sit for a short time to thicken. Shape the dough into a ball. Top with sesame seeds. Flatten onto a sheet of parchment paper. Bake in the air fryer at 325°F for 15-18 minutes (or in the oven at 350°F for 15-18 minutes) until golden brown and firm.

• Fries: Melt the tallow, and coat the celery root sticks with the tallow. Air-fry for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees, until fries start to lightly brown. Salt the fries before serving

• Burger: Split the ground beef in half and make two very flat patties. The burger will shrink on the skillet. Place some butter or tallow on a cast iron skillet and brown the onions in it. Butter the hamburger buns and toast on the cast-iron skillet. Season the patties and brown on one side. Then flip the patties and top each with half of the slice of cheddar cheese. Stack the burger with the beef patties, cheese, onions, pickles, lettuce, and keto burger sauce.
