Don’t miss out on pancake day even if you’re gluten free!

My child loves pancakes. But when she was diagnosed with coeliac disease 4 years ago, just before pancake day, we all panicked as to what we would use, how we would make them. Would they taste ok.

I searched & googled like crazy. What was the best recipe. I don’t remember where I found this one on Facebook, I’ve never seen page again much to my disappointment & I didn’t screenshot it as I normally do. But whoever it was, thank you. Because it works.

And it’s the one recipe we’ve used ever since.

When posted my pancake post in a few groups & the video on the GFLC Instagram page. I was asked if it would work with cornflour and recipes for that are at the bottom of the post. I tested mine against the current measurements & I’d adjust it to 150g GF SR flour & 200 milk. A couple of of other suggestions came in from two ladies who use different recipes & I’ve posted their recipes at the bottom.

If you have a go, tag me using #glutenfreelittlecook into your Facebook or Instagram posts. Definitely not missing out on this event!

It makes around 4-6 medium sized pancakes.

It makes around 4-6 medium sized pancakes. Double the mixture for more (we do!!)

Method

• Weigh the flour in a large bowl
• Add half the milk and egg.
• Whisk until combined. Add remaining milk.
• Continue to whisk until smooth, no lumpss and the consistency of single cream.
• Heat your frying or crepe pan. I picked up a new crepe pan last year to give it a go but a regular frying pan works just as well.
• Lightly brush with melted butter/oil when hot. You aren’t frying it so it doesn’t need to be swimming in oil. Wipe on, wipe off!

• I use an American 1/2 cup measuring cup to pour the mixture into the centre of the pan. Use a ladle, jug or a small cup for a similar amount.
• Lifting the pan, rotate it to spread out the mixture evenly.
• Put back onto the heat & cook. The edges will change colour first from less opaque to a more solid pale white/cream. Takes 1-2 minutes.
• Loosen the edges with a palette knife, spatula working your way into the middle
• Flip the pancake if you are feeling brave or use the palette knife to turn it.
• Cook for a further 1-2m until the second side is golden brown.
• Serve whilst warm, cover with lemon & sugar, nutella, fruit, whatever takes your fancy
• And repeat……. and enjoy your gluten free pancakes!
