Ingredients

• 0.5 cups Coconut flour
• 0.5 cups Tapioca starch
• 1.5 cups Coconut milk
• 0.75 cups Water
• 1 Egg
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour and tapioca starch. Mix well to avoid any lumps.

Step 2

Slowly add the coconut milk and water to the flour mixture, stirring continuously to create a smooth batter.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with honey and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Add the egg mixture to the batter along with the baking powder. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 5

Let the batter rest for about 10 minutes to allow the flours to absorb the liquids, resulting in a thicker, smooth batter.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick appam pan or a small frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with coconut oil.

Step 7

Once the pan is hot, pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan. Gently swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin circular shape, with a thicker, fluffy center and thinner edges.

Step 8

Cover the pan with a lid and allow the appam to cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges turn golden and start to lift from the pan.

Step 9

Remove the lid and check if the appam has cooked through. The appam is done when it has a slight crispness at the edges and is soft in the middle.

Step 10

Carefully remove the appam and place it on a serving plate. Repeat the steps with the remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly as needed.

Step 11

Serve the Paleo Appams warm with your favorite paleo-friendly curry or chutney.
