Chickpea flour can be found online and in most health food shops and Asian supermarkets. This is adapted from an excellent recipe posted online by Ingenue.
Ingredients
- 250 g chickpea flour
- pinch of salt
- pinches of chilli flakes, pepper and onion powder, and either rosemary or caraway seeds, to season
- 1 tbsp coconut or olive oil
Standing time 2-3 hours
Instructions
Put the chickpea flour in a bowl and add enough water to make a thin pancake batter, whisking well as you go. Add the salt and seasoning, and then leave it to stand for 2–3 hours. When you are ready to use it, whisk in the oil. Put a frying pan on a medium-high heat. If the pan is not non-stick, lightly brush it with olive oil. Swirl the batter into the pan and cook it until it is brown and crisp, turning once.
Note
• These can also be used as pizza bases, or as wraps to fill with salad, tuna and mayonnaise or other healthy choices. They freeze well.
