Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Lightly mist a baking pan with spray oil or line it with parchment paper or a silicone mat and then mist the surface. 2 In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, pecan flour, sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum, salt, and ginger and whisk until well mixed. In a large bowl, whisk the egg, sweet potato, and syrup together until thoroughly blended. Add the flour mixture and stir with a large spoon for 1 to 2 minutes to make a stiff, playdough-like dough. 3 Oil your hands and gently form the mixture into small balls, using about 1 oz of dough for each. Place the balls on the prepared pan, spacing them about 3 inches apart (to allow space for pressing down). Once all of the batter is formed into balls, rub some oil on the pinky-side edge of your hand and press down on each ball with the oiled part of your hand twice, forming a crisscross shape and slightly flattening the balls. 4 Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate and bake for about 10 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch. 5 Immediately transfer the biscuits to a wire rack to cool for 3 minutes. Split and serve them while still warm.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
