I too am allergic to almost everything in the known universe!! When I found out I was allergic to gluten my "last supper" was a cheese and tomato sandwich on soy linseed bread, followed by pancakes and ice cream (followed by a week of chest pains, headaches... etc). Unfortunately, I can't eat a single thing out of that whole menu list these days. </p> <p>But! All is not lost! </p> <p>If you've tried rice flour, have you also tried a combo of 2 parts white rice flour and 1 part glutinous rice flour? Don't be fooled by the name, no gluten in it. The name refers to the sticky nature of the rice when cooked. (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutinous_rice)" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutinous_rice)</a>. </p> <p>I find this flour combo works quite well in some of Elana's recipes. You just need to boost the moisture content by about 3 tablespoons of something like grapeseed oil (that is, something with a bit more substance than water or rice milk).</p> <p>It also works well as a sub for dumpling cases, ravioli cases etc as it holds together quite well without eggs. </p> <p>Also, I haven't tried it myself, but last time I cooked pancakes they didn't rise as much as I would have liked so I would recommend a dash of baking soda and cooking them very slowly. </p> <p>I have also tried adding vanilla bean paste (not extract or essence - allergic to both), which gives a really buttery sweet taste. It's very strong so use with moderation!</p> <p>I hope this helps.</p> <p>Jen </p> http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/topic/i-need-help-with-perfecting-a-pancake-recipe#post-114 Sun, 02 Nov 2008 12:36:08 +0000 Elizabeth 114@http://www.elanaspantry.com/forums/ <p>I love pancakes. I am allergic to everything, litterally. No eggs, wheat, soy, dairy, corn, almonds, potatoes, barley, carob, and so many more. I have used so many different flours. The pancakes always come out quite gritty. I use egg whites, rice milk, sometimes goat milk or goat yogurt, honey, sorghum flour, millet flour, garbanzo bean flour (which is sticky) and rice flour. I try different combinations each time. I usually waste a lot! Any suggestions, anyone? </p>
