Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 cup Hot water
- 0.25 cup Melted butter or ghee
- 2 tablespoons Linseeds
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients thoroughly.
Create a well in the center of the dry mix and add olive oil and hot water. Stir with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are well integrated and a dough forms.
Knead the dough briefly in the bowl to ensure everything is well mixed. The dough should be smooth and slightly sticky.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball and then flatten into a disc.
Sprinkle some linseeds on a clean work surface. Place a disc onto the linseeds and roll it out gently using a rolling pin to flatten further.
Brush each rolled-out msemen with the melted butter or ghee, ensuring coverage to keep them flavorful and prevent sticking.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place msemen onto the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls, adding more linseeds as needed for rolling.
Serve hot with your choice of accompaniment or enjoy them plain. Perfect for breakfast or a light meal.
