Pancakes

If you had told me a year ago that I could make pancakes without wheat or sugar or milk Id probably have laughed so hard a little wee ran down my leg but color me impressed because with a little help from my sister and a little bravery on my part I have done the impossible and they were really delicious om nom nom.

Makes 8 american style pancakes (drop scones) or more if you go for the skinnier regular pancake.

Ingredients

4 oz barley flour
2 oz almond flour (ground almonds)
1 tea spoon baking soda
2 table spoons coconut sugar
2 eggs (beaten)
coconut milk (as needed)

Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl and then slowly mix through the egg.
Gradually add milk until you have the right consistency. Use less milk if you want to go for
an american style pancake or more if you don't. I made sure to stop before the mixture became too runny.

Heat a frying pan on a medium heat until it's hot and then add the oil ( The food absorbs less oil if you do this and it means the first pancake doesn't turn out greasy. It's genius really) Fry until bubbles start to appear and then flip the pancake and fry it until it turns golden brown.

And then enjoy om nom nom. I had mine with a little butter but you could also try maple syrup and lemon and a few berries or what ever topping you like.

If you prefer you can use water, regular milk or another substitute milk like almond or soya in place of the coconut milk.
