Yield 8 pancakes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 cup chickpea flour
1 cup water
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3 tablespoons red onions, grated
1 cup red quinoa, cooked
1/4 cup olive oil, for cooking

Steps:

Whisk together chickpea flour, water, tamari soy sauce, cayenne, cumin, and onion.
Stir in the cooked quinoa and let stand 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a frying pan and add pancakes in 1/4 cup measures. Cook until dark golden brown, 1-1/2 to 2 minutes each side. Add more oil as needed.
Drain on paper towels.
Serve.

Tips:

Use a high-speed blender or food processor. This will help to create a smooth batter.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pancakes tough.
Let the batter rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will help the flour to absorb the liquid and make the pancakes more tender.
Cook the pancakes over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings.
