Pancakes are a traditional American breakfast dish and it is getting more and more popular in Italy.

Similar to crêpe, pancakes are fluffy and thicker. The batter is a flour mixture with milk, butter, salt, sugar and eggs. Generally they are served with maple syrup, jams, honey or peanut butter. For those who love a savoury breakfast, they can enjoy pancakes with eggs and bacon.
Here below our gluten-free recipe: instead of using 00 flour, we use rice flour and we replace butter with extra virgin olive oil.

How to prepare pancakes?

To start, whisk eggs, then add milk and flour, making sure that any lumps will disappear.

Now add the yeast: whisk until you get a smooth batter.

Pour in into a non-stick pan a drizzle of EVO oil: spread the oil evenly over the surface.

Ladle some batter into the pan, leave to cook over low heat for a couple of minutes. When the pancake turns golden, then it will be ready to turn.

Continue with the rest of the batter. 

You serve them with maple syrup, jams, honey, chocolate spread or some fruits. 

Our tips: enjoy them as soon as they are ready, optionally you can store them in the fridge and warm them up just before serving.
