Fluffy Pancakes

savoury pancakes

Ingredients

  • 40 g lupin flour 
  • 10 g almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons erythritol or 1/8 tsp pure monkfruit extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons melted butter coconut oil or ghee
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4-6 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

Method

  • Mix lupin flour, almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk thoroughly together in a medium bowl the eggs, butter and vanilla extract. Whisk in the dry ingredients followed by the milk, a tablespoon at a time. You can play with the thickness a bit, but I found the best consistency to be with 4 TBSP (the batter is thicker than with regular pancakes, but will spread easily into a round). Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes while you heat up a skillet or pan.
  • Add a little butter to the pan, pour in about 1/4 cup of batter, spreading it slightly to help it form a nice round (you can use a wet spoon or spatula). Cook over medium heat until the top begins to darken, flip and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Serve right away with toppings of choice.

Lupin Pasta

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup Vital Wheat Gluten
  • 1/2 + 1/3 cup (82g) Lupin Flour
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 1 large Eggs, beaten
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 oz (85g) Water

Method

  1. Put all the dry ingredients: vital wheat gluten, lupin flour, salt, and xanthan gum in a bowl then whisk together. Beat 1 egg in a bowl and set aside. In a cup, mix the oil and water. Transfer the dry ingredients into the bowl of the stand mixer. Using the paddle attachment turn the mixer on to speed 2 then pour in the beaten eggs and oil-water mixture.
  2. When all the ingredients are well incorporated a dough has formed, switch to the dough hook, and knead the dough for 7 minutes. You may need to reform the dough into a ball during the first few minutes of kneading before the dough will stay in that form.
