Prepare panisses in a skillet or fried, inspired by traditional recipes. These delicious specialties are homemade from chickpea flour. A Provençal treat that you won't be able to live without!

Prep Time20 minsCook Time20 minsTotal Time40 mins
Ingredients
 250 chickpea flour
 1 water
 2 olive oil
 ½ salt
 pepper
Directions
1

Preparation of the dough: Gently bring the water to a simmer, then add salt, pepper, and oil. Slowly incorporate the chickpea flour with a whisk to avoid lumps, and stir the mixture for 15 minutes over low heat.

2

Resting the dough When the mixture has thickened well, spread it on a greased and floured baking sheet, and let it cool to allow the preparation to set. You can also prepare the baking sheet the day before for the next day.

3

We will then cover the tray to prevent it from drying out. The thickness of the dough on the tray will be the thickness of the fried fritters. Alternatively, we can pour the dough into small dishes to make small circular cakes.

4

Cutting and cooking Cut the piece according to the desired shape and brown in a pan with oil. You can use olive oil, or mix olive oil with sunflower oil. Clean the pan between two cooking sessions with a paper towel.

5

To finish, BE CAREFUL !!!!!! Those who use a measuring cup without caution instead of a scale will be disappointed. Chickpea flour does not have the same density as wheat flour. 250 g of chickpea flour occupies the volume of 325 g to 350 g of wheat flour. In other words, you need to fill the measuring cup to the 350 g mark to ultimately get 250 g of chickpea flour. It is still best to weigh!

    Good recipe for a friendly and different appetizer. You can also incorporate tiny cubes of chorizo into the batter before browning them in the pan... But you can also diversify with olives, anchovies, or grated cheese...

    Very good recipe, the proportions are precise and result in crispy and soft panisses, a real delight. For an appetizer or as a side dish, I served them with roasted lamb shoulder, and it worked very well. My suggestion: The mixture of flour and boiling water is not easy; it quickly forms lumps. A good blend with an immersion mixer before cooking on the stove solves everything. Don't hesitate to use enough oil in the pan for a nice color and crispiness; they need to fry. Don't forget to place them on absorbent paper after taking them out of the pan.

    Excellent recipe After tasting the panisses with admiration, I wanted to make them myself. The first time I didn't follow the proportions (Yes! You need to weigh the flour and therefore have a scale...) and the second time I followed this recipe to the letter. In the end, excellent panisses. Very good recipe!!! Thank you.

    It is advisable to mix 1/2 liter of water with the chickpea flour and bring the other 1/2 liter to a boil, then combine the mixture while stirring.
