Ingredients (4)

serves

1 cup dried black beans (rinsed and drained)
water for soakingwater
1 1/2 cups water ((I use filtered tap water))water
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon saltsalt

Instructions (6 steps)

01Place the rinsed beans in a medium mixing bowl or other container. Add enough water to cover the beans by at least 1 inch (2.5 cm). Let stand, at room temperature, for at least 12 hours. Drain and rinse the beans (discard soaking water).
02Add the drained, soaked beans, 1 1/2 cups water, and the optional salt to a blender (preferably a high-speed blender). Blend on HIGH speed until completely smooth (no tiny bumps) stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides of container. The batter will be thick (it looks like cement :). Scrape into a bowl.
03Heat a nonstick skillet (well-seasoned cast iron skillet is ideal), or a nonstick griddle, to medium heat (no hotter). (Note: If using a regular skillet—not nonstick—you will need to spray with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking).
04Once warm, add 1/3 cup (75 mL) of batter to the center of the pan (the recipe yields about 3 cups of batter). Wait 5 to 10 seconds (this allows some of the batter to set; it makes it easier to spread!), and the use a metal spoon to spread the batter into a 6-1/2 to 7-inch circle.
