Gluten-Free Small Pancakes

These gluten-free small pancakes made with bovete and durra flour are just made for a luxurious brunch, moist, fluffy and with the same thick texture as American pancakes. The secret is bicarbonate of soda and filmjölk, which together give that classic airy lift you recognise from American pancakes, but with a nutty flavour dimension that ordinary wheat flour can never give.

Bovete is naturally gluten-free and rich in protein, fibre and magnesium, and contains rutin, an antioxidant that's unusual in grains. Durra flour is one of the world's oldest grains, high in protein and with a lower glycaemic index than many other flours, which means you stay full for longer. Together they form a flour base that doesn't just work, but actually adds something extra.

Perfect for anyone who wants a nutritious gluten-free breakfast without compromising on fluffiness. Serve with a dollop of da Carla Nougatkräm for a truly luxurious touch.

ingredients

• 100g da Carla bovetemjöl
• 100g da Carla durramjöl
• 3 msk coconut sugar / sugar substitute
• 1 tsk fibre husk/ground psyllium seed husk
• 1/2 tsk salt
• 1 tsk bicarbonate of soda
• 1 egg
• approx. 4.5 dl filmjölk
• 40 grams butter, melted and cooled
• Butter or neutral oil for frying

Here's how

• Heat a cast iron frying pan or a non-stick pan over medium heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the bovete flour, durra flour, sugar, fibre husk, salt and bicarbonate of soda.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with a fork and then stir it into half the filmjölk. Add the melted butter and stir.
• Mix the egg mixture with the dry ingredients. Gradually add more filmjölk as needed to get a thick but pourable batter consistency. Don't overwork the batter; a few lumps are fine.
• Melt a little butter in the frying pan or pour in neutral oil and spread it evenly. Pour the batter into the pan and shape into small pancakes. Lower the heat to medium-low and fry for 3-4 minutes on the first side. Watch for bubbles on the surface of the pancakes. Once air bubbles start rising to the surface in the middle of the pancakes, flip them. Fry for another 3-4 minutes, or until nicely browned.
• Stack the finished pancakes on a plate and cover with a towel while you fry the rest. Add more oil to the pan as needed between batches.
• Serve the small pancakes with your favourite accompaniments. Try them with da Carla Nougatkräm.
