Chickpea Flour Pancakes

I made these over the weekend and many many people on face book asked for the recipe.  And so here it is – I hope you make it and let me know what you think.  If you send me a picture – that’ll complete my life 🙂

What you will need:

3 cups chickpea flour

2 eggs (optional)

salt to taste

cayenne pepper to taste/red pepper flakes

1 1/2 cups of water (will vary if using eggs or not) – you are aiming for the consistency of pancake batter

dried mint (or any herb you like, fresh or dry)

2 garlic cloves, crushed

2 tbs oil

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and set aside for a few minutes.

You can make these plain with no topping or top with a variety of things like vegetables (cooked is better), shredded meats like chicken, etc.

I used left overs – shredded chicken and on the other a mix of spinach, corn, black beans and onions.

Heat a little oil in a non stick pan, add the batter and then the topping.  Let cook on a medium heat for a few minutes and then flip.

You can make several and crisp them or keep them in an oven.

There you have it.

These taste great hot or as a snack the next right out of the refrigerator.

Until I cook again!
