Purple Rice Pancakes aka Alien Brain Fritters

Ok so yes you really do eat this purple alien with an afro.

Inspired by me previous success with chickpea crepes I decided to delve into the purple world. I mean play with rice, Thai Purple rice that is. Grind up a little bit and you can turn a gluten free treat into purple neat.

Now before I get into the recipe that I know you are all dying for let me say this, I am aware that my pan was too hot and had too much oil. These are things that I could correct next time. But.....Those conditions are what gave me these really cool shapes. And isn't the point of food that it should look cool?

Ok So the recipe; (as best as I can remember it from last week)

Alien Brain Fritters

1tbl Cashew Flour

2tbl Purple Rice Flour

3/4c Chickpea Flour

2ea eggs

2tbl Olive Oil

3tbl Agave Nectar

1c Scalded Milk

1/4tsp Baking Soda

Combine the flours, agave nectar,  and olive oil. Whisk in the milk while still hot. Allow the mixture to cool then whisk in eggs. Let the batter rest for about ten minutes. Stir gently and incorporate the baking soda. Cook like pancakes. These are very fun looking. Also they taste like cute crunchy purple donuts. Very Yum.

So now that you have put these cute purple things on a plate what ever should you do with them? Try topping them with; Scrambled Eggs with Yam and Lotus Root, or a wonderful Coconut Milk Chutney. Both of these recipes will show up but the end result was tasty too!!
