This is a beautiful stack of pancakes that the Mister made. This is not an ordinary stack of pancakes. They are gluten-free. After trying a lot of different recipes for gluten-free pancakes that only left me frustrated, I decided to write my own. Frustration is quite a motivator for writing my own recipes. I find myself writing more of my own recipes as time goes on – writing, experimenting, tweaking. Until I get it right. After I wrote this recipe, the Mister went into the kitchen and made them using my own gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. The pancakes came out light, fluffy, golden. We enjoy them smeared with butter, topped with maple syrup. Perfect.

It is a good breakfast recipe, eggs with other ingredients, they go very well.
