  • 120 ml water
  • 4 tsp coconut oil (for frying) melted
  • 1 pinch salt

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Skillet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Biscuit Cutter

Method
 

  1. Mill red lentils in food processor or blender to create a fine flour; set 1/2 cup of red lentil flour aside.
  2. Place 1 cup of the flour, 1/2 cup water, and a pinch of salt in mixing bowl; combine until dough is formed.
  3. Generously flour work surface with red lentil flour set aside previously; place mound of dough on top floured work surface.
  4. Roll dough to 1/8 inch with rolling pin covered in a sleeve or over parchment paper covering dough (to avoid sticking).
  5. Cut out with a 3 inch round biscuit cutter; place cut out discs on floured surface until all are ready to fry.
  6. Heat skillet to medium high; melt coconut oil in pan, pouring out excess and reserve.
  7. Fry 4 discs at a time; turn or flip as soon as bubbles appear (in about 30 seconds).
  8. Fry for 15 more seconds or so; remove to paper towel covered plate to cool.
  9. Repeat process until all crackers are fried, re-oiling the pan each time.
  10. Store in an airtight container, or freeze; crackers will be crisp, but do not have a 'snap'.

Notes

These crackers are perfect for dipping or enjoying plain. Feel free to experiment with spices for added flavor.
