Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor, combine almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot starch, xanthan gum, garlic powder and salt. Pulse a few times to combine.
• Sprinkle butter over almond flour mixture and pulse until it resembles fine crumbs.
• With processor running on low, add water through feeding tube 1 tablespoon at a time until dough clumps together.

• Take about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it between your palms into a cigar shape. Continue to roll gently on a piece of parchment or a silicon baking mat into a long thin stick, less than half an inch thick and 7 or 8 inches long (if it breaks at any point, you can easily press it back together).
