Pancakes

Pancakes are a weekend tradition in my home.  During the summer, when I was a summer camp counselor, I made sure that I had enough to last the whole week.  Having pancakes greet you around 6am is always quite nice.

Here is a simple pancake recipe:

1 cup rice flour
1/4 sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative such as rice, almond or coconut)
1 tablespoon oil
2 teaspoons gluten free baking powder
2 eggs (or a 2 eggs worth of an egg substitute)

Mix dry ingredients together thoroughly.  Mix wet ingredients together in a separate bowl.  Pour wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.  Give the mixture a few minutes to rest.

In the meanwhile,  oil a skillet or a non stick griddle and heat your chosen item to medium heat.  Apply about 1/4 cup of the mixture to the skillet/griddle at a time.  When the edges of the pancake start to dry and the there are bubbles in the middle, it is time to flip the pancake.  The number of pancakes made depends on the amount of batter used at a time.
