Gluten-Free Wheat-free Pancakes for the Allergic in You!

When I found out I was allergic to 47 different foods, my first task was to accept the fact that there are many foods I will never be able to eat again, like pancakes. Jump ahead two years and you'll find me experimenting in the kitchen because NO ONE should have to give up EVERYTHING.

One of those things I missed the most was pancakes. Being allergic to wheat and being gluten intolerant made finding a pancake that didn't taste like crap with the consistency of a brick almost impossible. Then I came across this recipe on Allrecipes and I HAD to try it. 

The recipe calls for

  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (cow, soy, almond, coconut, etc)
  • 1 TBSP canola oil (it says vegetable, but we use canola)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup rice flour
After mixing the ingredients together, you wait one hour. I've managed to make it to the 50 minute mark before making them. I found the time does make a difference.

These are very good! My next step is to make them with fruit instead of milk to see how they turn out. I'll let you know. I will also try it with flax instead of eggs and let you know how that turns out.

If you have allergies and want to try this, let me know how you like it!  I'll add reviews here too.
