Grain and gluten free pancake recipe

I eat them with unsweetened applesauce when I'm trying to behave, but I add honey in undignified quantities all other times, which is most of the time.

Try them with or without the banana. With or without your own sweetener. They're good either way.

Ingredients

500ml your choice of milk

1 banana

1 cup buckwheat flour

2 tablespoons golden flaxmeal

1/2 cup chickpea flour or soy flour

2 tablespoons arrowroot

2 teaspoons baking powder*

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 egg

Method

Blend banana, egg and vanilla together in a blender until smooth. Add milk and blend until mixed. Add dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Add batter in small amounts to a pre heated frypan, on low to moderate heat, and cook on both sides until light golden in colour.

Grain and Gluten Free Pikelets

Here is a pikelet batter that can be prepared in minutes and they cook just as quickly.

The soy flour/arrowroot combination makes them light and fluffy. The fact that this is a grain free and gluten free pancake recipe is practically transparent to anybody used to the traditional wheat flour variety.

Ingredients

1 cup soy flour

3/4 cup arrowroot

1 tsp soda bicarbonate

2 large eggs or 3 small eggs

1 cup your choice of milk

1/3 cup sugar (optional)

1 tsp vanilla essence

Method

Beat eggs, vanilla and milk together. Sift in dry ingredients and mix into a smooth batter.

In a pre-heated frypan, add oil or butter if required. Pour small amounts of batter into the frypan to make pikelets approximately 7-8cm (3 inches) in diameter.

Fry on both sides until golden brown. Makes approximately 15 - 20 pikelets.
