Pancake recipe?

[Knip]

Just a thought, but I'm wondering, with Shrove Tuesday fast approaching, if anyone has a tried and tested recipe for gluten free pancakes. I'm dairy free too, but I don't think that would be of concern, since nut or soya milk is usually interchangeable with dairy milk in other recipes. Here's hoping!

Make them as normal recipe but just use a gluten free plain or cake flour not a flour for making bread, I mostly use a schar flour called " Farina" which is especially for pasta, pancakes and sauces, or you can make them with buckwheat flour but they have a different taste so you may not like them.

Thank you E_lizab8, I will give this a try. I have already bought the lemon in readiness for Shrove Tuesday! 👍

Hi Knip 👋 .

Great idea!

I love pancakes and have made many. Here’s 2 recipes for you.

You can use a traditional Good Housekeeping pouring batter recipe which works well - just substitute gluten free plain flour.

4oz plain flour

1 egg

Half a pint milk or water

Pinch salt

Tsp sugar (optional)

Whisk together.

I find this works best if made the day before and let sit in fridge overnight.

And my personal recipe using gluten free buckwheat flour:

To make about 4 pancakes,

2 eggs

2oz gluten free Buckwheat flour

2floz Good Hemp milk (or any dairy free alternative)

Quarter teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

Dash of lemon juice

Whisk together. Ladle in pan and Flip when bubbles form.

I also use this recipe with gluten free plain flour to make crumpets!

Gosh thank you so much for your reply and for the recipes. My other half will be jumping up and down with delight at the thought of homemade crumpets! I'll certainly give the pancakes a try. Take care,😋

We use the banana pancakes recipe from BBC Good Food site, could not be simpler and is a lovely pancake for sweet toppings. Just banana, eggs and baking powder.

Sadly no bananas for me, D G. I react quite badly to them! I will however, pass the recipe on to my brother, who CAN eat them. Thank you for your reply, I do appreciate it.
