Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the Batter

12 min

Mash the drained lentils and whisk them with the egg and olive oil. Add the flour, baking powder, cumin, and salt, then mix.

2

Fill the Molds

8 min

Divide the batter among small greased molds, filling each about two-thirds full.

3

Bake

25 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C / 355°F for 25 minutes, until the edges are dark golden.

Reminder
