Pancake - Almond
These almond flour pancakes are so easy to whip up and they are soft, light and fluffy. I have provided the tips and tricks below at the directions section so do check them out. You can go creative with these pancakes by adding spices like ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and fruits such as berries. And if you are a savory person like me, enjoy them with bacon, eggs and cheese as shown in the video
1. For best results, weigh the ingredients with a digital scale
2. In a bowl, add all the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
3. Add all the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined. The batter should be thick and smooth. This is what makes the pancakes light and fluffy. A runny batter will make the pancake spread too much hence they will be flat and not so fluffy. Rest the batter for 5 to 10 minutes to allow it to hydrate evenly resulting in light and fluffy pancakes.
4. While resting the batter, preheat the skillet or pan for 3 to 5 mins over medium high heat.
5. Then grease the pan with butter or any oil of your choice.
6. Spoon the batter onto the pan. It is best to use a suitable measuring spoon or cup so that all the pancakes are of the same size. This recipe makes about 11 small pancakes.
7. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 2 to 3 minutes each side. Spread the batter a bit so that it is easier to cook and flip over.
8. Once you start to see bubbles on the surface of the pancakes, peek at the underside to check if it is golden brown. The sides of the pancakes should also look drier and firmer then flip over. Do not flip more than once as the trapped air will escape. The trapped air is what makes the pancakes light and fluffy.
9. Once ready, transfer to a plate. Stack them up, decorate with berries, top with butter and drizzle with sugar free maple syrup and enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.
10. If you don't have a sweet tooth, try the savory version of stacking the pancakes with bacon, cheese, egg, lettuce then drizzle with sriracha and mayo - so good!
11. These pancakes can be refrigerated for a few days and frozen for months. Just reheat in a microwave.
