Ingredients:

1 Cup Yellow Lentils

2 Cups Water

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon Piment d'Ville (or the chili powder of your choice)

1/4 teaspoon cumin

1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper

Directions:

1. Rinse the yellow lentils until the water runs clear. Place the lentils and 2 cups of water in a glass jar or bowl and soak for 4 - 6 hours. 

2. Put the lentils with their soaking liquid into a blender, add seasonings and blend until smooth. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the lentils to absorb more of the water. If after 5 minutes the mixture is too thick add a bit more water one tablespoon at a time. Remember it needs to be thicker than pancake batter so don't add too much water.

3. For best results completely pre-heat the skillet with the oil in it for at least 5 minutes. Working in batches ladle the batter onto an oiled skillet. with the back of your spoon smooth out the batter in a circular motion to get it to approximately 1/4 inch thickness.

4. Cook for 2 minutes on the first side, flip and cook for 1 more minute on the other side.

5. Top with herbs, veggies, hummus, cheese or serve alongside soup or stew. These can also make a gluten free "pizza crust"
