Instructions
- Combine the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and the wet ingredients in another bowl. Now pour the wet ingredients into the dry and beat together lightly. Don’t over beat and it’s OK if there are still a few small lumps remaining Leave the mixture to stand for 5-10 minutes.
- Place a non-stick or cast-iron frying pan over a medium to high heat. Lightly coat the pan with a thin layer of coconut oil or butter. I use the butter from the butter paper packaging.
- Dollop in three heaped desert-spoons of batter pressing them down into circles, ensuring they don’t touch.
- Flip with a thin slotted spoon when they start bubbling and come away easily from the frying pan. They should be a lovely golden brown on both sides.
- Serve with blueberries pomegranate, mascarpone cheese and maple syrup or squeezy honey.

This is a regular in our house. They are delish. Accidentally I forgot to add the egg the first time and actually they were really nice too!
Good to know it works without the egg!
