Ingredients to make amaranth wafers:
1. To begin the recipe for amaranth wafers, it shows amaranth flour. If you do not get it, you can place the amaranth in a food processor until pulverizing it, although it is recommended that, once processed, you pass the flour obtained by a strainer to make it even thinner. In a bowl, mix the water with vanilla extract or a flavor of your choice, if you want to add that extra flavor or sweetness; If you want to sweeten the recipe, try Stevia.
Trick: In some places they sell the honey -sweetened amaranth, you can use this if you prefer.
2. Gradually add amaranth flour and mix with a balloon fork or whipper until the ingredients completely integrate.
3. Once the mixture is ready, add a teaspoon of oil and mix again. Optionally you can add some vegetable droplets of your favorite color.
Trick: If you feel like enjoying delicious amaranth wafers with chocolate, you can add cocoa powder (preferably pure) or grated chocolate.
4. Prepare the press for tortillas, so that place it on the grill or stove with an average temperature. At the same time, cut two circles of baking paper the size of the press. When the press has heated, place one of the paper circles and grease it with oil. Then, put immediately a tablespoon of the amaranth flour mixture, put the other paper circle (also greased), close the press carefully without pressing too much and let cook for a minute and a half. The temperature must be constant and should not go from the average so that Amaranto wafers do not burn.
5. After time, open the press with the help of a thermal glove, remove the paper and the cooked wafer. Repeat the process until you finish with your mixture, yes, every time you repeat, remember to grease the paper. If you have no press for tortillas, you can make amaranth wafers in a pan using the same paper trick. In order not to burn you, we recommend greasing the paper outside the pan, place the dough, the second paper circle on top and press with the base of a glass, for example, to extend the mixture. Already extended, carefully place the paper with the dough inside in the hot pan.
Trick: If you prefer, you can omit the paper to bake and direct the press directly, although using the paper will be more practical when taking the wafers.
6. To give better form to amaranth wafers, cut them with the help of a cookie cutter or something circular that helps you mark the circle and cut with kitchen scissors.
7. In a few minutes you will have your amaranth wafers ready for the afternoon snack. As you can see, it is a gluten -free snack, healthy and perfect for the whole family.
