Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to fry rice flour cakes without eggs in a frying pan? First, prepare the necessary ingredients from the list. You can replace rice flour with any gluten-free flour: oatmeal, corn, etc. You can also make tortillas from regular wheat flour. But keep in mind that you may need more or less flour of other types.

Step 2

Step 2
Sift the rice flour into a bowl. Add salt and stir.

Step 3

Step 3
Pour in 2 tbsp. l. vegetable oil and stir. There is no need to try to make sure that the oil saturates all the flour, there won’t be enough of it anyway. During the kneading process (step 5), the oil will disperse throughout the dough.

Step 4

Step 4
Pour boiling water into the dough and quickly stir with a spoon. You will get quite large lumps.

Step 5

Step 5
When the mixture has cooled slightly, knead it with your hands into a soft, elastic, non-sticky dough, adding a little more rice flour if necessary. The consistency of the dough should resemble soft plasticine. It should not crumble in your hands. If the dough crumbles and does not form into a single ball, add a little more hot water.

Step 6

Step 6
Gather the dough into a ball and place in a plastic bag or wrap in cling film. Leave for 20 minutes at room temperature.

Step 7

Step 7
Roll out the dough on a table sprinkled with rice flour into a rectangular layer approximately 3 mm thick. Brush the surface of the dough with 1 tbsp. l. vegetable oil.

Step 8

Step 8
Roll the dough into a tight log. Cut the roll into 6 equal pieces.

Step 9

Step 9
Roll out each piece of dough on a surface greased with vegetable oil into a round cake with a diameter of 16-20 cm. You can roll out the cakes thinly or make them thicker.

Step 10

Step 10
Heat the pan over medium heat. If you wish, you can grease the pan with vegetable oil. But since we rolled out the dough on a greased surface, you don’t have to grease the pan additionally. Place the flatbread and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side until golden and browned. The exact frying time depends on your pan and heat setting. While you fry one tortilla, roll out the next one.

Step 11

Step 11
Place the finished PP rice cakes on a plate and serve. Bon appetit!
