Casein Free Pancakes

Every Casein Free pancake I've tried has been- well, spongy and tough and just not a pancake.

I've tried several different recipes, even one entitled "Better Than Bisquick Pancakes". That was totally over sold. YUCK!

I don't know where I got this recipe but after a couple of tweeks I'm satisfied. It is not as good as a Casein Cake, but it's the best safe pancake I've found! I also have two variations that make them pretty specia! Shredded Apple Pancakes with Apple Cider Syrup & Casein Free Chocolate Swirl Pancakes.

Here is the basic Recipe:

2 Cups Four
1 t baking soda
2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt
1/8 C sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 Cup Soy Milk

Now for the fun!!!!!

Shredded Apple Pancakes with Apple Cider Syrup

Note* Shred an apple or two into the batter to add moisture (and nutrients)

Rachel's Apple Cider Syrup
(Yields 1-1 1/4 Cup)

1/2 Cup sugar
1 T cornstartch
1/8 t ground cinnamon
1/8 t ground nutmeg
1 Cup apple cider or juice
2 T "butter" spread, cubed
1 T lemon juice

1. In a small sauce pan combine first 4 ingredients and stir in the 5th until
smoooooooooth.

2. Cook and Stir over Medium heat until thickened and bubbly, about 5 minutes.

3. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.

4. Stir in "butter" & lemon juice.

Casein Free Chocolate Swirl Pancakes

1. Make pancakes using the basic recipe above.

2. Simply squeeze a swirl of Hersey's Chocolate Syrup (check to ensure it is Casein Free, or use another Casein Free variety)on cooking pancake as soon as you pour it into the skillet/griddle.

Note* Try to keep the chocolate syrup away from the edge- burnt chocolate syrup, though Casein Free is still a no no. Yuck!

I added some Banana sticks as a side and as you can imagine, it went over pretty well.
