• ¼ teaspoon salt
• Optional: ½ teaspoon xanthan gum (improves texture)

6. Pour batter into prepared pan.
7. Brush the top with beaten egg for a glossy crust (optional).
8. Bake for 35–45 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really zero carb?
