• Egg - 1 large

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, water, salt, and egg. Whisk until you have a smooth batter.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
3. Pour half of the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a round base. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
4. Carefully flip the base and cook for an additional 5 minutes on the other side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
5. Repeat the process with the remaining batter to create a second base.
