This breakfast or teatime treat is gluten-, dairy- and nut-free. The egg can be replaced with an egg substitute to make it egg-free.

Ingredients

20 minutes
Serves 4

200g all-purpose gluten-free flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder
2 eggs or egg substitute if egg-free (whisk 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of water and
600ml coconut milk)
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 cup strawberries
4 tbsp maple syrup

Instructions

1. Add the flour to a bowl, then gradually whisk in the eggs and milk until smooth. This can also be done in a food processor.
2. Heat a thin layer of oil in a non-stick pan until a drop of water skitters when dropped on the surface. Add 3 tbsp of the batter to the pan, swirling to coat the base of the pan.
3. Cook the pancake for 2 minutes, until firm and golden brown underneath, then use a non-stick spatula to flip it over. Cook for one minute more.
4. Slide the pancake onto a warm plate. Continue with the rest of the batter, stacking the finished pancakes between sheets of wax paper so they don’t stick together.
5. Use a flower or star-shaped cutter to stamp out shaped pancakes, if desired. Serve with strawberries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
