Recipe: GF Pancakes

Adapted from:  http://www.glutenfreecookingschool.com/saturday-morning-pancakes/

This works really well in both my cast iron and stainless steel pans. 

Notes:
  • If I use flax instead of eggs, it is necessary to almost double the oil in order to keep the pancakes from sticking to the pan. 
  • For those who have never used flax in the place of eggs, a short explanation:  soak the flax meal in the water while you mix up the rest of the ingredients.  It will get thick and work as a binding agent when you mix it in.
  • The listed amount of milk will make a really thick batter.  Just add water to think it out.  I always add water but I don't measure it so you'll have to figure out what volume is best for your family.
My son didn't know that he was eating GF pancakes for months after I got this adapted for my kitchen.  He thought they were regular pancakes.
