Dairy and gluten free ‘buttermilk’ pancakes

A tasty gluten free and dairy free pancake. The dairy free ‘buttermilk’ is made with a combination of soya yoghurt and rice milk.

Ingredients

• 160g sweet rice flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 300ml soya yoghurt
• 60ml rice milk
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Method

1. Sift the rice flour, baking powder, bicarb, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, soya yoghurt, rice milk and oil, and pour into the flour mixture. Stir briefly just to combine.
2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle pan or frying pan over medium-high heat. Scoop about 4 tbsp of batter per pancake onto the heated griddle, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until bubbles appear on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until the pancake is golden brown on both sides.

Cook’s note

You can substitute coconut oil for the vegetable oil.

Dairy-free pancakes

• 125g plain flour
• 1 egg
• 300ml hemp or coconut milk
• sunflower or rice bran oil, for frying

Method

1. Put the flour in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Crack the egg in the middle and pour in a quarter of the milk. Use an electric or balloon whisk to thoroughly combine the mixture. Once you have a paste, mix in another quarter and once lump free, mix in the remaining milk. Leave to rest for 20 mins. Stir again before using.
2. Heat a small, non-stick frying pan with a splash of oil. When hot, pour a small amount of the mixture into the pan and swirl around to coat the base – you want a thin layer. Cook for a few mins until golden brown on the bottom, then turn over and cook until golden on the other side. Repeat until you have used all the mixture, stirring the mixture in between pancakes and adding more oil for frying as necessary. Pile the pancakes up between sheets of baking parchment or cook to order. Serve with the pancake filling of choice.
