This believe it or not, should have been a Frittata. But we had one the last time we had lots of Eggs which were short dated. So the idea mutated from Frittata, through conventional savoury Pancakes to this monster!
Gluten free Pancakes are a bit tricky to flip, but this recipe works well and will make 10 fluffy Pancakes. You can halve or quarter the quantities as required.
Ingredients:-
400g Plain White Flour, Gluten free for us
4 eggs
1L of Almond milk
2 Tsp of Baking Powder
2 Tsp of Salt
Oil, for the pan
Method:-
(1) Mix and whisk your batter.
(2) Heat a small frying pan with a little Oil. It’s best to use this batter as soon as you can as the Baking Powder is only active for a short time.
(3) Fry on both sides until golden brown and lay on baking parchment to separate.
(4) Cook your fillings. We used Onions, Mushrooms, Red Pepper, Ricotta, Crispy Bacon and Chorizo. But that’s up to you.
(5) In an oven proof dish layer your Pancakes with your filling between each one.
(6) Dress with Cheese and place in the over at 170c until the Cheese melts.
This was much better than the intended Frittata. But man it was filling! We’ll have the other half cold with some Salad tomorrow!
Why Cane Toad? Well they are pretty big and so is this monster! You can buy a Yorkshire pudding mix from most supermarkets for less than 50p and all you need to do is add a couple of eggs and water. Just make sure your oil is smoking hot! Sue's Gluten Free batter mix is below.
Ingredients:-
6 Pork and Leak sausages (GF versions are available and no more expensive)
Oil
For the GF batter mix:-
140g of GF plain flour
50g of Cornflour
140ml of semi skimmed Milk
3 Eggs
A dash of cold water
Sat & Pepper
Vegetable oil
Method:-
(1) In a frying pan fry your sausages.
(2) Preheat the oven to 220C.
(3) Place vegetable oil in a baking tray and heat until smoking hot.
(4) Add the Eggs to the Milk and whisk.
(5) Mix the GF Flour and Cornflour and season with Salt and Pepper.
(6) Add the Flour mix a little at a time to the Egg and Milk mix whisking it as you go.
(7) You should aim for a smooth runny texture.
(8) Add straight to the hot Oil and add your fried sausages hot to the batter.
(9) Place on the top shelf of the oven for about 30 minutes. Until the Yorkshire Pudding has risen and golden brown.
We like this with Mustard mashed Potato, Cabbage, batoned Carrots and Onion gravy, but the vegetables are entirely up to you.
