No Grain Pancakes

Gluten free pancakes are often very hard to handle, but coconut flour based ones are much easier. Using a combination of coconut flour, ground almonds and arrowroot gives a nice texture. If you need to be starch free, omit the arrowroot, and add a bit more ground almonds.

• 2 eggs
• 2 Tbs raw milk, yoghurt or coconut cream
• 2 Tbs (1 oz) butter or coconut oil, melted
• 2 Tbs sifted coconut flour
• 2 Tbs ground almonds
• 2 Tbs arrowroot
• Pinch sea salt

Beat together well, then cook in the usual way. This amount makes 4 medium size pancakes or about 8 pikelets, so adjust the qty as needed.

Variations:

These are a bit harder to turn, so make smaller ones, more like pikelet size

• Apple pancakes – add ½ grated apple and some cinnamon
• Banana pancakes – replace milk with a small (or ½ large) mashed banana and a pinch of nutmeg . Serve with sliced banana or maple syrup, and bacon.
• Cheesy pancakes – add a handful of grated cheese Vegetable fritters – add grated veges such as carrot or zucchini
