Ingredients
- 1/4 cup of butter generously coating the pan with its luscious richness, ensuring a delectable release and adding a hint of creamy flavor.
- 1 cup of Panchoa flour offering a nutritious twist with its unique sprouted grain properties, providing added fiber and a slightly nutty taste that enriches the final product.
- 1.5 teaspoons of salt adding a delicate balance to enhance the overall taste of the dish.
- 1/2 cup of versatile all-purpose flour providing structure and thickness to the mixture.
- 1.5 cups of rich and caramel-like brown sugar imparting a deep and molasses-like sweetness to the recipe.
- 2 cups of boiling water which helps dissolve and blend the ingredients, creating a smooth and consistent texture.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a large baking pan with butter and then lightly coat it with all-purpose flour. In a large saucepan, add water to a boil and add in the sprouted wheat Panchoa flour.
- Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the salt, brown sugar, and all-purpose flour until completely mixed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly with a spoon. Bake for 25 minutes or until lightly browned on top. Let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you begin.
- Be careful not to overcook the panocha or it will become dry and crumbly.
- Let the panocha cool completely before slicing and serving, as this will help maintain its shape.
- If you don't have sprouted wheat Panchoa flour on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of all-purpose flour.
