This recipe makes 2 large pancakes.

Love pancakes but can't eat wheat? This wheat-free recipe produces delicious fluffy 'American style' pancakes.

Ingredients:

• 100g of spelt or gluten-free flower
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp of caster sugar
• 150ml milk (use soy or lacto-free depending on your dietry needs)
• 1 medium egg
• A pinch of salt
• A very small dribble of cooking oil
  

You'll also need a frying or omelette pan.

Method:

• Add a dribble of cooking oil to the pan, and put it on a medium heat
• Beat the egg into the milk
  
• Add the baking powder, sugar and salt to the flower
• Combine the egg/milk mixture with the dry ingredients, and beat with an electric whisk until smooth
• Add half the mixture to the pan, and wait until you see bubbles and holes forming. Shake the pan a little to loosen the pancake (you can use a plastic turner to help loosen it). If the pancake slides, you can turn it. The other side will cook very quickly. Test by shaking the pan. If it moves, it's done.
  
• Repeat for the second pancake

Ideas for Serving:

• These pancakes are savoury, and are delicious on their own with Maple syrup
• Add well-cooked good quality bacon and a chopped ripe banana. For an extra treat, sprinkle with icing sugar
  
• Add 1 tsp of cinnamon to the dry ingredients for some extra spice
• Add a quarter tsp of paprika to the dry ingredients for extra colour and savoury flavour
