Sweet Chestnut Pancakes

Gluten Free Recipe

By Fitness and Freebies

Chestnut makes these pancakes extra special. The use of a smooth chestnut puree gives them the distinctive flavor. Rice flour and cornmeal replace standard flour.

Recipe Ingredients

3 eggs
1/2 pint water or milk
4 ounces sweet chestnut puree
4 ounces rice flour
4 ounces cornmeal
Pinch salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/4 teaspoon tartaric acid
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 ounce sugar

Recipe Directions

Pancakes Beat the eggs,sweet-chestnut puree, oil and milk together.

Mix all the dry ingredients.

Next, quickly mix the wet and dry ingredients together. You can usefully leave the mixture to stand for a couple of hours before cooking.

Cook on an iron griddle in the traditional way or heat a strong frying pan with enough oil to coat the bottom but no more. The oil should not be hot enough to smoke.

Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into the pan. After a few moments turn and flatten the pancakes slightly - they will rise again.

Cook until both sides are light brown. Serve Sweet Chestnut Pancakes hot with butter and jam.
