From Cake to Breakfast in one week …….
Well why not ????
This week an easy recipe for a delicious breakfast that you can have on the table in a jiffy and very tasty too
Scotch Pancakes or drop Scones are not American Pancake don’t be fooled π
They are slightly sweeter and are lighter due to the extra leveners
They make a fabulous quick breakfast and are traditionally served with just dripping in butter
But to posh it up and making a healthier choice . I’ve opted for a fruit combo
This recipe has been adapted from The Great British Bake Off Big Book of Baking and makes up a challenge from my baking group
So crack on ….but no eggs they aren’t needed πππ

recipe
Scotch Pancakes GF, DF V
Soft and Fluffy Scotch Pancakes or Drop Scones ideal for a quick breakfast with store cupboard ingredients
Ingredients
- 110 g Gluten Free Plain flour ( if not using your own blend I recommend Dove Farms Freee Plain UK or Pilsbury US )
- 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum (omit if your blend contains it )
- 1/4 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
- 1/2 tsp Cream of Tartare
- 10 g Caster sugar
- 1 small Lemon Finely Grated
- 20 g Chickpea / Besan Flour
- 30 ml Water
- 150 ml Dairy Free Milk . I used Mighty Pea Pea Milk Unsweetened
- 2 tbsp Maple syrup
- vegatable oil for griddle or frying pan
Directions
- Add the flour, bicarb , xanthan gum ( if using ) and sugar cream of tartare to a medium bowl and whisk until evenly combined and aireated
- Zest the lemon and add to the dry ingredients mix in
- in a small bowl add the chickpea flour and water and mix until combined and smooth
- Add the milk. maple syrup and the chickpea slurry to the dry ingredients and with a metal whisk whisk until lump free and smooth
- Heat the frying pan or griddle on a medium heat
- Using a piece of kitchen roll wipe the pan with oil so just a light covering , you will need to do this after every set of pancakes made
- To check the temperature is not to hot or cold drop a tea spoon of batter into the centre and it should hold its shape . Adjust the temperature if required
- Cook the pancakes in batches using 2 tablespoons of batter per pancake , Cook for two minutes each side
- Keep Pancakes warm in a clean dry tea towel until batter is used up
- Serve with fruit , yogurt and extra maple syrup or just with dairy free butter !!
