How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Request the dish prepared WITHOUT any breading (no breadcrumbs, flour, or other starch). It should be pan-fried or baked. Confirm the butter filling has no added sugar.
Watch out for
The traditional preparation relies heavily on a crispy breadcrumb coating. Ensure strict omission of all breading. Deep-frying oil might contain residual carbs if other breaded items are fried in it.
