Yesterday was a lay'n in bed kind of day. I caught a stomach bug that was thankfully a 24 hr thing. My stomach was not up to par this morning. I made Nate some regular pancakes, which sounded good but I knew if I ate the white flour I would regret it. I usually have a GF flour on hand for times like this. Today I had brown rice flour so I looked up a recipe for brown rice flour pancakes. As I am not strict GF, I have found "real foods" in general sit better with me (go figure huh). I've used brown rice in the past and it tends to be a little gritty but the taste is good. There are some GF flours that have a terrible taste, amaranth is one, it's awful in my opinion :) These pancakes were not gritty at all! This recipe was so simple, having cooked with brown rice flour before I did make a couple of changes. I added just a small dash of real vanilla and a shake of salt. For the "sugar" I used agave nectar. Since I only had 1 1/4 cup of flour I just brought down the other ingredients just a smidgen (it's a word... trust me). The key is to not over stir and once all ingredients are mixed DON'T TOUCH until you put them on the griddle. They get this fluffy texture that's so fun to dip in to because it feels like soap bubbles, remember playing in the soap bubbles as a kid... or now, I'm not judg'n.... Cook them the same as reg pancakes, until you see a mat finish (they probably won't "bubble" like reg pancakes) My stomach handled them well this morning and for that I'm VERY grateful!!!! I know a few of my friends are setting out on a better eating adventure... hope you can try these, I loved them!
