Re: Oatcakes and flapjacks..

?? i've never added sugar to my pancake recipes. the egg ought to

hold the batter together.

since i'm gluten-free, my pancakes now are the silver dollar kind,

made from leftover amaranth or millet or amaranth/millet porridge (to

which i've already added stevia). i just add 1 egg, some arrowroot,

some vanilla, and sautee them up. my faves are the amaranth, and my

mom loves them. don't expect fluffy, though, unless you add some sort

of leavening agent.

i apologize if i'm missing something here...?

If you add a little xanthan gum, you can make them just

like the " regular " kind. Waffles too. Use 1 tsp xanthan to

a cup of flour.

Xanthan is a fermentation by-product, comes from natural

bacteria (grown under humane conditions ;--)
