Red Lentil Crackers Homemade (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base
01 -
1 1/2 cups (270 g) red lentils
02 -
1/2 cup (120 ml) water
03 -
2 teaspoons (8 ml) coconut oil
04 -
Pinch of salt
# Instructions:
01 -
Process red lentils in a food processor or blender until finely ground. Reserve 1/2 cup of the lentil flour for dusting.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of lentil flour, water, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.
03 -
Generously flour the work surface with reserved lentil flour. Place the dough on the floured surface and roll out to 3 mm thickness. Cut the dough into 7.5 cm rounds using a biscuit cutter, placing discs on the floured surface. Re-roll scraps as needed to use all dough.
04 -
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and melt coconut oil, pouring out and reserving excess. Fry 4 discs at a time, flipping as soon as bubbles appear (about 30 seconds). Continue frying for 15 seconds more. Remove crackers to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Repeat with remaining dough, re-oiling the pan as needed.
05 -
Allow crackers to cool completely. Store in an airtight container or freeze for later use.
# Notes:
01 -
Avoid sticking by rolling the dough between parchment paper or using a rolling pin sleeve.
02 -
Crackers will be crisp after frying but will not snap.
