Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup ground pecans
- 50 almonds
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Beat butter and sugar together using an electric mixer until fluffy. Blend in vanilla extract and salt. Mix in flour and ground pecans. Shape about 1 tablespoon of dough into a finger, about 3 inches long and 3/4 inch wide. Repeat with remaining dough to form about 50 fingers total.

Place fingers 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet; they will expand a little while baking. Stick an almond 'nail' onto the end of each finger. Lightly score some 'knuckles' into the centers using a knife.

Keto Open-Faced Chicken Cordon Bleu
All the flavors of traditional chicken cordon bleu but keto-friendly and much easier to assemble since there is no stuffing or rolling involved.
Smothered Beef Short Ribs
No oven is needed for this beef short rib recipe. Instead, your stovetop does double duty, first in searing flour-dredged ribs, then in simmering them with vegetables and herbs in a savory mixture of wine and stock. This dish is great served over mashed potatoes.
Cornbread Pancakes with Fresh Strawberry Syrup
These are for sure the lightest, fluffiest cornbread pancakes of all time! By partially cooking the cornmeal before cooking the pancakes, there's no gritty or bitter aftertaste that you sometimes get with uncooked cornmeal. Serve with a dollop of homemade crème fraîche or sour cream.
