Pancakes: Elimination Diet Breakfast

I used to make pancakes almost daily, so it's been strange not having them for a month. I found a gluten free, sugar free pancake mix but its quite bland. So I decided I might as well just make my own.

> 1 cup all purpose flour (that you can eat, or use any other flour you can)
> 1 cup (give or take to preference) coconut milk or other milk
> 1 egg substitute, I use 1 tbsp flax and 3 tbsp water (mix first)
> 1 tsp baking soda
> dash of cream of tartar
> 2 tbsp canola oil or oil of choice

 Mix ingredients well in a bowl with a fork, work out clumps. It should be fairly running but not quite milky. If you find your first pancake to runny add more flour, if it's too thick add more milk. If you want it sweeter add 1 tbsp agave or sweetner, or try it with cinnamon.


 
 Oil and warm a pan, preferably non-stick, on medium heat. When pan is hot pour on some batter to desired size.  If you want to make cinnamon apple pancakes, press sliced slivers into the batter in a clock-like pattern now. When whole pancake has permanent bubble holes (like in photo) it's ready to flip.

 Viola! Gluten free, sugar free, dairy free, baking powder (corn) free, egg free PANCAKES! Top with 100% fruit syrup or jam.
