NOTES:
- All measures are leveled off with the back of a knife.
- You may use any salt of your choice.
- You may swap coconut oil for sunflower oil if you wish.
- You may bake this as a bread loaf, but the fluffiness and aeration will reduce due to the extra weight on top. However, Mini loaves will suffice wonderfully with this recipe.
- Instead of steaming your onions, you may peel them, roughly chop them, and puree them in your food processor using its metal blade.
INGREDIENTS:
348 g rice, ground - your cheap regular white rice
10 ml salt, level measure - I use Himalayan pink salt
10 ml baking soda, level measure
112 g coconut oil
4 onions (420 g) medium size, whole, skins on
5 eggs, large
65 ml water
30 ml lemon juice freshly squeezed or apple cider vinegar
METHOD:
- Ground your rice following the manufacturer's instructions (so you don't burn out your machine) until it is of mealie meal texture or finer if you wish.
- In a wok or microwave oven steamer/container with a lid, put your onions on to steam in their skins until soft and just beginning to pop, but do not allow them to burst open completely, or you may lose their lovely sweet onion flavor and juices. Once done, set them aside, covered to keep warm in their steam not to dry out.
- Place a large enough mixing bowl onto your scale.
- Weigh in your ground rice flour.
- Add your salt and baking soda.
- Weigh in your coconut oil.
- Hold your onions over the bowl, squeezing them out of their skins - discard their skins.
- Add your warm water.
- Lastly, add your freshly squeezed lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
- Switch on your Pie Maker or Cup Cake Maker.
- If you are using your oven, grease little cup-cake or bun pans and set them aside. Preheat your oven to 180 C/356 F.
- With your immersion blender, blend all your ingredients until smooth and bubbly. Do not over-blend, or you will begin to lose the bubbles - aeration.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop up your batter and fill your pans to two-thirds of the way.
- Your buns are done when a finger, lightly pressed to their tops, springs back without leaving an indentation. And with a finger, you can pull the buns slightly away from the walls of the pan.
- Lift them out using a butter knife or your fingernail if it is long enough or just your finger if you don't mind the heat.
- Serve with butter, marmalade, honey, bacon and eggs, mini hamburgers or Kofta buns, or roast chicken and coleslaw. The possibilities are endless!
Enjoy!😋
