Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pancakes (for Shrove Tuesday)

3/4/2014

1 Comment

 
   Pancake Day, otherwise known as Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday, is the day preceding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. The term Shrove Tuesday comes from the word shrive, meaning to "confess". Eating pancakes on this day came from using eggs and butter in the batter - as they were ingredients that weren't allowed during Lent, so they needed to use them all up.
   Truth is, we love pancakes in this house, and if there is another reason to eat them for dinner, I'm all over it!

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Pancakes

  • 1 1/4 cups gluten-free flour blend (I use Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Flour Blend)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup buttermilk (add 1 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice to milk, let it sit a few minutes until it begins to curdle)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil 
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 Cup chocolate chips (or blueberries) (having an add-in is optional)

Method: 

  1. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to thoroughly blend. Leave no lumps of baking powder or soda behind! 
  2. Mix buttermilk, oil, egg and vanilla in a separate mixing bowl. Whisk to combine. 
  3. Stir milk mixture into dry ingredients and whisk until batter is smooth. If batter looks too thick, add more milk, a little at a time. 
  4. Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Lightly brush the skillet will olive oil or coconut oil. Once the pan is hot, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup for each pancake, and pour batter into heated skillet and cook until bubbles form on the topnd the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook second side until golden. For larger pancakes, use a 1/3 cup measuring cup to measure batter for each pancake.

Gluten free pancakes aren't always big, poofy pancakes. But these just have a nice, light, slightly fluffy result.
    I like to eat my pancakes by putting a bit of peanut butter on first, then my syrup. I also love making mine into Bacon Fritters! Do you have a favourite way of eating pancakes? Whatever you're style, have a good Shrove Tuesday!
