Ingredients
- 3/4 cup red lentils *Note - must be red.
- 2 cups water
Instructions
- Rinse lentils in cool water in a colander. Place 3/4 cup lentils in 1 cup of water and allow to soak for at least 2-3 hours or overnight.
- Drain lentils. Add 1 cup fresh water.
- Pour combined lentils and water into a blender. (Alternatively, you can place lentils and water in a bowl or large glass and use an immersion blender.)
- Blend until mixture forms a batter.
- Using a high-quality non-stick skillet over medium heat, spread a ladle full of batter to make a pancake (thicker) or crepe (thinner). If needed, use a spoon to spread the batter.
- When batter is well-formed on one side (typically 2-3 minutes), carefully flip and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Repeat making the other pancakes.
- Enjoy pancakes hot or cool and store in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
