Gluten Free Pancake Dayfeatured

I know it’s not Pancake Day until tomorrow, but I thought I’d celebrate it a day early. I’m a busy bee tomorrow night and straight after work have to dash to the donor centre in Manchester to give blood, and after that I’ve got to leg it (get the tram) over to Sale to get weighed at Slimming World. This leaves no time for pancakes. Come to think of it, I probably should have celebrated Pancake Day a day late to maximise on my weight loss this week. Blood’s gotta weigh something.

Anyway, whether you’re a coeliac like me, or not, here is the recipe I used to make my gluten free pancakes this evening. I’m sure you already know how to make pancakes, but just in case.

Now. I’m not gonna lie to you. The nice cover photo you see above and the pretty little banana and strawberry covered pancake you see below are actually photos that I took of pancakes I made using this mix a couple of months ago. This is because to be perfectly honest with you, the ones I made tonight were an utter disaster. After making them too thick and failing miserably to flip them, I realised The Walking Dead was about to start, so I gave up.

Anyway, here you go…

Ingredients

100g (4oz) Juvela Gluten-Free White Mix
2 medium eggs, lightly beaten
250ml (10fl oz) milk

Instructions

Place the Gluten Free Mix in a bowl, beat in the eggs and gradually add the milk, beating well to produce a smooth batter.

Heat the oil in a large pan and pour the batter in to evenly coat the base of the pan.

Cook for a couple of minutes until golden, then flip pancake and cook other side.

Hey presto! Time to add your chocolate, bananas and strawberries etc 🙂

I’m sure you can see why I decided to call it a day after just two pancakes…

Hope you all have a lovely Shrove Tuesday and your pancakes are yummier than mine!
