Nutrition

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (500 mL) split red lentils, dry, rinsed
  • 2 ½ cups (625 mL) water
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) salt
  • 2 Tbsp (30 mL) olive oil

Directions

  1. Place lentils in a bowl and cover with water by at least 2 inches. Let soak at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse.
  2. Add soaked lentils, fresh water, salt, and oil to a blender. Blend on high until smooth and pourable, looking for a consistency similar to a thin pancake batter. Adjust water as needed for consistency.
  3. Rest the batter for 30 minutes for improved texture. Stir before use.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or crêpe pan over medium heat. Lightly brush with oil. Pour ¼ cup (60 mL) batter into the center and quickly swirl to spread into a thin circle.
  5. Cook 1–2 minutes, until edges lift easily and the bottom is golden. Flip and cook another 30–45 seconds. Transfer to a tray and keep warm. Repeat with remaining batter.
  6. Fill or top with desired ingredients. Serve warm or at room temperature.
