Spelt Pancakes

I've been missing my pancakes in a really bad way. Who doesn't love pancakes? Smothered in either maple syrup or yogurt and fresh fruit, it's just irresistible, and the ultimate comfort food breakfast.

Since starting my diet, and taking my daughter off wheat and sugar, I haven't made pancakes. I just didn't think it was fair to have her watch everyone else devour them while she made do with something else. I also didn't think I'd be able to resist them.

These aren't as fluffy as pancakes made with wheat, because, well, it's not made with wheat. But what it lacks in fluffiness it more than makes up for with the taste.

The other issue I had with these is that the batter is a bit runny. I had to use a small frying pan to make them, otherwise they probably would have turned into a giant pancake cake.





Pancakes

1 cup white spelt flour
1 cup whole spelt flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup sugar or xylitol
2 cups soy milk
2 eggs

Combine all ingredients in a bowl, and whisk well.

Grease and heat a small frying pan, and pour in 1/3 cup batter at a time. Let it cook until the edges are brown, flip over, and cook another few minutes on the other side.


A great serving suggestion - top with low fat Greek yogurt, fresh cut up fruit, and sugar free chocolate syrup!
