Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large egg 60g net weight
- pinch fine Himalayan pink salt (U.S. option HERE)
- 1 tsp fine coconut flour (U.S. option HERE)
- 1 tsp fine psyllium husk powder (U.S. option HERE)
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp flaxseed oil (U.S. option HERE)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar (U.S. option HERE)
Instructions
- beat egg until frothy using a manual balloon whisk.
- add all other ingredients, beating between each addition.
- smear 2-3 drops of flaxseed oil over bottom and side of your ramekin or similar size microwave-proof container (my plastic one measures 8.5cm in diameter) and pour mixture into it.
- cook (no lid) in microwave on 600W power for 90 seconds; check and cook for another 15-30 seconds if still wet.
- invert over a rack to cool and for the steam to escape.
- once cooled, slice across horizontally to make two crumpets, wrap in cling film and store at room temperature.
- to serve, toast (broil) the uncut (outer) side only; smother the nooks and crannies (soft) side with butter (or whatever you like) and enjoy.
Notes
Not all microwave ovens are created equal. My Italian one takes 90 seconds. My British one takes 2 minutes - on the same power setting. Start with 90 seconds, and if it looks still a bit wet either on top or underneath, add more time.
In my experience, microwaving at higher power for less time left the middle uncooked - but it may work for you. You can swap coconut flour for almond flour or lupin flour, or whatever flour floats your boat.
Same applies to the oil. Use hemp seed oil, avocado oil or even EVOO. The taste will be slightly different, but if it suits you, why not? Use Metric Kitchen Scales to measure ingredients accurately (U.S. option HERE).
