Ingredients
- 6 tbsp kama flour, a blend of roasted barley, rye, oat and pea flour
- 400 ml cold kefir
- 2 tbsp caster sugar or runny honey
- 1 pinch fine salt
- 150 g fresh berries
- 1 tbsp flaked almonds
- 1 tsp lemon zest
Before you cook
- Take the kefir out of the fridge five minutes ahead so it pours easily.
- Rinse and dry the berries.
- Measure the kama flour into a small jug.
Steps
- Toast the flaked almonds in a dry pan over medium heat for two minutes until pale gold.
- Tip the almonds onto a plate to cool.
- Pour the kefir into a deep bowl.
- Add the sugar and the pinch of salt.
- Whisk until the sugar has dissolved.
- Sprinkle the kama flour over the surface a spoonful at a time.
- Whisk hard after each addition so no lumps form.
- Keep whisking until the mixture is as thick as pouring cream.
- Cover the bowl and rest it in the fridge for ten minutes so the flour swells.
- Whisk once more and check the thickness.
- Loosen it with a splash more kefir if it has set too firm.
- Pour into two glasses or bowls.
- Scatter the berries and toasted almonds over the top.
- Finish with the lemon zest and serve cold.
