Soy, Milk and Wheat Free Waffles and Pancakes

Hello all,  as promised after 4 months of perfecting these recipes, here are our recipes for milk, soy and wheat-free waffles and pancakes. (They really aren't that hard!)

Milk, Soy, Wheat-Free Pancakes:

1/2 cup sweet rice flour*

1/2 cup brown rice flour*

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1 egg

1 tbsp oil (safflower, etc).

up to 1 1/2 cup of rice milk

1. Heat your griddle, I like using one of those electric griddles since we can make a bunch at a time.

2. Mix your dry ingredients.

3. Add the egg and oil.

4. Add the milk until you get the batter to more liquidy  than in the waffle recipe, so that you can pour it onto the griddle and it spreads out. (But not so thin they are like crepes! Which are good too, but not as easy for a small child to eat.)

5. Pour a small amount of batter onto the griddle, they work best when they are mini-sized, about 1 1/2 to 2 inches in diameter.

6. Flip the pancakes over when they start to bubble, wait a minute or so more and voila!  rice-flour pancakes.

Milk, Soy, Wheat-Free Waffles:

1/2 cup sweet rice flour*

1/2 cup brown rice flour*

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp cream of tartar

1 egg 

2 tbsp of oil (safflower, etc)

up to 1 cup of rice milk

1. Preheat your waffle iron.

2. Combine all dry ingredients, mix.

3. Add egg and oil. Start stirring.

4. Add  rice milk slowly, until you reach the desired consistency, which is to say, a smooth but still thick batter (it will stick to your spoon).  Its about 3/4 of cup. 

5. Pour/ Spoon batter into waffle iron and follow the waffle iron's directions.

 

* If you don't want to make them wheat-free, just use a cup of regular flour instead of the 1/2 each of sweet and brown rice flours.

Enjoy!  You can also always add some Enjoy Life! Brand chocolate chips to vary the recipe a bit.  If you don't know about Enjoy Life! chocolate chips and you have a child that has soy and dairy allergies, google them. You can buy them on-line, but I can find them at my local health food stores, Hannefords, and Wegman's.  They are near the Gluten Free section.
