Gluten, Dairy and Egg Free Pancakes

My 10 year old food allergic son loves these pancakes.  I usually triple the recipe and then freeze them in a container between sheets of wax paper.  My son will take them out of the freezer for breakfast or lunch and simply microwave them as needed.

Gluten, Dairy and Egg Free Pancakes

2 cups gluten free flour blend*
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups rice or soy milk
2 tablespooons water
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Heat a griddle (to about 350) or pan on the stove top.  The griddle is ready for pancakes when water dropped on the hot griddle rolls and sizzles.  Mix all the dry ingredients.  Add the milk, water, oil and vanilla.  Mix well, but don’t over stir; a few lumps are okay.  Drop 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.  Flip the pancake when bubbles form and begin to pop.  Keep the heat medium to medium low; they burn fast.  Enjoy!

Yield:  12 pancakes

*This is the gluten free flour blend that I use regularly and have experienced the best results with. I use it to replace regular flour cup for cup in any recipe. I make up a big batch of it and keep it in the fridge to have on hand when I need it.

All Purpose GF Flour Mix

1 cup brown rice flour

1 1/4 cup white rice flour

1/4 cup potato starch

2/3 cup tapioca starch

3/4 cup sweet rice flour

1/3 cup cornstarch

2 tsp xantham gum

I am curious……where do you get the stuff to make the gluten free flour? Can you get it in a normal grocery store?

THANK YOU!!! My almost 3 year old son is allergic to dairy, egg, wheat, and peanuts. It is difficult to find recipes that exclude all of those things so we will be making these pancakes soon. I’m really excited to try the GF flour mix too! How much easier is that than having to pull out 5 different kinds of flour to make a recipe…duh! Anyway, I just wanted to express my appreciation for the recipes, I’ll be watching for more!

yay thanks Laura, next time I am in Terrace I will drop in to the health food store and get set up.

Tammy I can buy a lot of it at my grocery store now. I certainly couldn’t 10 years ago when I started this diet. However I find it’s even cheaper to have my local health food store order it in in large bags for me.

Lovely-looking pancakes. We do not have food allergies in our house, but I love making pancakes from scratch. I triple the recipe, too, and freeze the leftovers in gallon bags, sandwiched between waxed paper, too. Just like you do.

I usually cook these on the weekend or for a weeknight dinner, and it gives us the option of a homemade breakfast during the week.

Oh, THANK YOU. We are always trying to find recipes for our kid who is allergic to EVERYTHING, sigh. We will give this one a try.

Thank you! Me and my daughter were both told last week that we have a gluten allergy. I made your GF Flour Mix and am excited to try it out with this recipe!
Do you have a bread recipe that also use this mix with? I am still learning the ropes. And I find all of this SO helpful! Thank you :)

Amazing…I thought I had tried every dairy, gluten, and egg-free pancake recipe there was, all with dismal results! Whether using egg replacer or flaxmeal/water to replace the eggs in a ton of different pancake recipes, they all turn out rubbery and uncooked (even when inadvertently left on the griddle for nearly an hour)! This recipe is going to be center-stage at our house on Saturday morning! THANK YOU!

That’s a great idea. I was diagnosed with a gluten allergy (but it was a false diagnosis) but I bought a grain grinder (the type that most people use for wheat and gluten products). Anyway, you can grind your own: brown rice, garbanzo beans etc.

Michele, bread is something I never mastered. I didn’t try too hard though because I was able to find good store bought bread…we use the EnerG brand (yeast free brown rice) and it’s good as long as it’s toasted :)

Laura,
We bought the same bread last week after seeing our doctor. But the nearest store that carries it is a 30 minute drive one way. Ugh. LOL I will keep trying! Thank you for you recipes. We are having a late night snack of your GF white cake made into cupcakes with your chocolate frosting! YUM! :)

I also do a large batch of waffles and put them in servings of 2 in a ziploc bag in the freezer. Then I just have to pull them out and pop them in the toaster!
Rather than microwave middle boys pancakes you should try getting him to toast them – way better!!

My boys love to have toasted blueberry bagels spread with cream cheese frosting…………okay, I love them too!!

One of my best friends is has Celiac’s Disease and I have Multiple Sclerosis and Fibromyalgia! I had the honor of trying out many of her recipes and trying out new things she has suggested! She has written an AWESOME cookbook that is avalible on her site where she also blogs about gluten-free food too!

Thanks for sharing!

For the person asking where to get GF flours, sometimes Ocean State Job Lot carries Bob Red’s Mill products, if you have one of those stores near you (or similar discount store).

Hi Laura,
I have been lurking on your blog for some time and love all of your great advice. One question for you though. I have just discovered that I am gluten intolerent and am trying to figure out menu’s for myself and my gluten tolerant family. I notice that you often have links to gluten containing recipes. Do you alter these or do you just have your son eat a slightly different menu? Thanks!
Blessings

Hi Betsy, yes I usually do a variation of what we are having for my son. For instance, tonight I made a Sausage Potato Soup (used a gluten free broth) and just took my son’s portion out for him before I added the milk to it.

Most often it’s a simple adjustment that I can make. If we are having a breaded chicken type dish I simply make him a plain version which he actually prefers anyway.

Sometimes I’ll just alter the recipe. For example, the beef stew we had the other day I used my gluten free flour blend instead of the regular flour and it was just fine.

Hope that helps!

I just recently found out that I am gluten intolerant. I was wondering how long the gluten free flour mixture lasts?

Reply

Laura September 27, 2009 at 12:09 pm

Mark the best thing to do would be to look at the best before dates on all the flours before mixing them together. I’d take the lowest of them all and go with that one. If you are concerned about not using it up in time, you could just mix up a single batch at a time.
