Who doesn’t love pancakes? I surely do. At our recent trip to Amsterdam I really craved a good old Dutch style pancake.
We had pancakes at a cute children’s farm where we fed the goats with milk, the kids played at the playground. Amsterdam, especially during Summer, is truly the best place to be.
We used to have pancakes on Saturdays, where Andrew is then for one time the head of chef in the kitchen, which is a rare situation. I have to admit, he really is the master of baking delicious fluffy pancakes. While he is busy flipping one pancake to another and try to build the famous pancakes stack, Rocco and I will then be busy eating them all before they even make it to the dining table! It’s a great joy having my two men in my kitchen.
Creating gluten free recipes are always a big challenge, especially for typical wheat flour dishes like pancakes. As every flour reacts different on the ingredients you mix them with.
Warning (!) these pancakes therefore do need a little practice to flip them over, but hey, that’s a good excuse to make them more often. A successful pancake is crunchy on the edges and fluffy in the center. This recipe past the test!
