Part of this Complete Breakfast

Sunny D. Lab here - Mom makes the fluffiest gluten-free pancakes in the world.
But she refused to make me a giant dog bed out of one.   
She said I'd just eat it.

I don't know WHAT she is talking about.


Mom's Gluten-Free Pancakes  (Mom uses goat kefir and butter as it doesn't bother her eczema like cow dairy.)
In Bowl #1
1 cup plain kefir (In the yogurt aisle and Trader Joe's.) Shake well first.
1 large egg at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tablespoons melted unsalted  butter

In Bowl #2 mix
1 1/4 cups (150 grams, I recommend weighing) Bob's Red Mill 1/1 Gluten Free Flour Blend
1 Tablespoon Hain Sodium Free Baking Powder (or 2 tsp regular)
1/2 teaspoon EnerG Sodium Free Baking Soda replacement (or 1/2 teaspoon regular baking soda)
2 Tablespoons organic sugar

Mix wet and dry ingredients together, stirring just til combined,  adding up to 1/3 cup spring water to get the consistency you want (I like mine to be thicker than cake batter, to dollop it on the grill rather than pour). Cook on a 325°F Griddle, flipping just once.  Makes 10 small pancakes.

The Value of Things

$108 for dog toys at PetsMart  - yawn

A shipping tube dropped on the way to the recycling bin - SCORE!
