Recipe for Gluten Free Pancake

By Ben Panny


There's a surprising quantity of people who may really like pancakes but "pancakes do not appreciate them". Wheat flour, that is the staple of pancakes, contains a protein known as gluten. Gluten can result in particular wellness concerns for some people. For example, everyone with celiac illness should eat gluten free foods mainly because for them gluten can lead to damage to the mall intestines. There is certainly also a condition known as dermatitis herpetiformis, that is an allergy to gluten that causes an itchy red rash.

You will find some grains that do not have gluten like rice, corn, buckwheat, soybean, and many others that we don't usually think of cooking with. But if you like pancakes it's possible find a great gluten free pancake recipe using one of these other "flours".

Gluten free pancake recipes usually vary from version to version. The one below is a small complex only since it has more ingredients than most pancakes and some may be hard to find anywhere aside from health food retailers. Following the recipe I've listed some ingredients you can substitute for those who cannot locate these harder to find ingredients.

Gluten Free Pancake Recipe Ingredients

1-cup rice flour

3 tablespoons tapioca flour *

1/3 cup potato starch **

4 tablespoons dry buttermilk power ***

1 packet sugar substitute

1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

teaspoon baking soda

teaspoon salt

teaspoon xanthan gum ****

2 eggs

3 tablespoons canola oil

2 cups water

* Tapioca flour is employed as a thickening agent ** Potato starch is the outcome of separating the starch from potatoes and then turning into powder form. It's also applied as a thickener like cornstarch. *** Buttermilk powder combined with water is made use of as a substitute for buttermilk if you don't have it on hand. **** Xanthan gum is a gluten substitute used to generate bread, pasta, pancakes as well as other recipes which are flour based.

All of these items can be found in wellness food shops, but some normal grocery stores might carry tapioca flour and potato starch.

The baking powder will assist the pancakes rise and be fluffy like a normal pancake.

Instructions

1. Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a big bowl (rice flour through xanthan gum).

2. Whisk in the eggs, water and oil till they're blended well with as few lumps as you possibly can.

3. In a skillet that has been heated over medium high heat. Cook the pancakes till they get bubbly. At this point, flip them and cook until good and golden on the bottom.

Gluten Free Pancake Recipe Variations

If you have buttermilk in the home, replace that for the buttermilk powder and water. Utilize exactly the same amount of buttermilk as water.

If you are unfortunate enough to not just be allergic to gluten, but are also lactose intolerant, you could substitute the buttermilk for soy milk.

Instead of the artificial sweetener you may substitute a teaspoon of honey or concentrated fruit juice, or even be daring and use authentic sugar.

This is it, I hope you delight in this healthy gluten free pancake recipe.
