Chef’s Tip:

  • I find this batter stuck to the bottom of my pan after my first two pancakes, therefore I highly recommend that you brush the bottom of your non-stick skillet with oil. 
  • While cooking your pancakes, make sure to cover the skillet to make sure they cook in the middle. 
  • Sift your chickpea flour to make sure there aren’t any lumps in the batter. 
  • Prepare the dry ingredients the day before and store it in an air-tight container. The following day, add water and stir into a batter then add cooked vegetables.
