Guest guest Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 I have to give credit where it is due here. Tired of seeing me struggle with GF recipes that turned out horribly, my young daughter (was 9 years old at the time) took it upon herself to create a recipe for pancakes for me. This is what she came up with, on her own, and surprised me with on Mother's day. (For anyone questioning why a 9 year old was making something unsupervised, she cooked along side of me from the time she was old enough to stand on a stool, and knew her way around a kitchen very well at a young age-she loves to cook and experiment still, she is now 15) Prior to this, my pancakes were grainy and fell apart-the addition of the flax/chia/tapioca gel made all the difference. To make the gel, just use 2 tbsp ground flax, chia, or tapioca with 1/3 cup WARM water, stir, cover and allow to gel for about 5 minutes-should be the exact consistency of an egg) GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES 1 1/2 cups mixed flour (good combo is buckwheat/red quinoa/GF oats, in equal measure, ground from whole groats if possible) 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 & 1/2 tsp gf,cf baking powder (I use homemade BP) Enough liquid (water, rice milk, milk, almond milk, or juice) to make a batter slightly thinner than cooked oatmeal 1/3 cup egg substitue (flax, chia or tapioca gel is perfect) or one small egg 1 Tbsp butter (I use homemade butter-melted, but any oil is fine) 1 Tbsp agave nectar (omit if using sweet juice) I grind my groats into flour in the VM, then add the other ingredients, give it a quick buzz, and pour it onto a hot griddle, Cook until bubbles form on top, flip to brown evenly. Tie on your bib and enjoy! (and daughter Bridgette-my personal lil chef guru) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
