HERON FOODS PANCAKES GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES MADE WITH HERON BATTER MIX

For Shrove Tuesday or any other day.
These are great with either Heron Gluten Free Bread Mix or Heron Wheat Free Bread & Cake Mix. If you are on a lactose free diet you can replace the milk with Soya or rice milk and use the Bread and Cake Mix.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 110g HERON GLUTEN FREE BREAD MIX or WHEAT FREE BREAD & CAKE MIX
  • 1 LARGE FREE RANGE EGG
  • 250ml MILK
  • 1 TABLESPOON ORGANIC VEGETABLE OIL
  • 1 PINCH OF SALT

METHOD:

  1. WEIGH THE FLOUR INTO A BOWL AND MAKE A WELL IN THE CENTRE. DROP IN THE EGG.
  2. START ADDING THE MILK TO THE EGG, GRADUALLY DRAWING IN THE FLOUR.
  3. WHEN YOU HAVE MIXED IN HALF THE MILK, ADD THE OIL (I USE GRAPE SEED OIL AS IT HAS NO FLAVOUR), BEAT WELL WITH A HAND HELD ELECTRIC WHISK IF YOU HAVE ONE.
  4. WHISK IN THE REMAINING MILK, COVER AND LEAVE TO STAND FOR THIRTY MINUTES BEFORE USING.
  5. HEAT A HEAVY 6" (15cm) FRYING PAN. DROP IN A SMALL KNOB OF BUTTER AND A SMALL AMOUNT OF OIL, YOU PROBABLY NEED A LITTLE MORE FAT THAN YOU WOULD USE WITH A WHEAT FLOUR PANCAKE MIX. YOUR PAN NEEDS TO BE NICE & HOT BEFORE DROPPING IN A LARGE TABLESPOONFUL OF THE BATTER.
  6. ROLL THE PAN TO SPREAD THE MIXTURE THINLY AND COOK FOR ABOUT HALF A MINUTE, LOOSEN THE PANCAKE AND TURN (OR IF YOU ARE BRAVE YOU CAN TOSS IT). COOK THE OTHER SIDE FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME KEEPING THE PANCAKE MOVING.
  7. TURN OUT ONTO A TEA TOWEL OVER A COOLING RACK AND STACK THE PANCAKES UNTIL THEY ARE ALL DONE. THIS MIXTURE SHOULD MAKE 5 OR 6 PANCAKES.
  8. YOU CAN MAKE YOUR PANCAKES AHEAD OF TIME, TO REHEAT, JUST PLACE THEM OVERLAPPING ON A PLATE AND POP INTO A HOT OVEN 200'C OR 400'F FOR 6-7 MINUTES. SERVE WITH HONEY OR JAM OR LEMON & SUGAR, OR YOU CAN FILL WITH A SAVOURY FILLING FOR A COMPLETE MEAL. THE PANCAKES WILL FREEZE, BUT NO FOR LONGER THAN A WEEK.

This amount will make 6 small pancakes about 4" or 100cm across.

You will need a 6" non stick frying pan.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 110gms (4ozs) of Heron Batter Mix
  • 1 Tablespoon (20gms) of vegetable oil
  • 250ml (½ pint) milk, cows / soya / oat or rice.
  • Extra oil or butter for frying

METHOD:

  1. Mix the batter mix with the oil and milk until smooth, leave for half an hour.
  2. Heat the non-stick frying pan until it is fairly hot, pour in the oil or the butter (or a mix of the two, the oil will stop the butter from burning) and heat until it is really hot.
  3. Pour in sufficient batter mix to make one pancake (you could use a large serving spoon or ladle) and cook for one minute, keeping the pancake moving as soon as it is set enough.
  4. Turn or toss and cook on the other side for a further minute.
  5. Place on a tea towel on a warm plate and continue cooking the remaining pancakes.
  6. Fill with fruit, honey, lemon & sugar or savoury filling as desired.

You can also use the batter mix for coating fish or chicken.
