Sweet Potatoe Pancakes

Swwwweet Potato Pancakes

3 Egg Whites
1/3 Cup Bob's Red Mill GF All Purpose Flour
3/4 Cup Mashed Yams
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1/2 Tbsp Sugar (optional)
Organic Milk (just enough to create a thick batter consistency)
Mix well.  There is no need to stress if there are chunks of yams, it will still taste great, and the color is quite lovely.
In a skillet, add butter and pour the mix into the pan, cook 2 minutes and flip.  These are so fluffy and delicious.  Great for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner.

Simple Jacks!

If it's one thing country folk like, it's yummy food and lots of it.  No country meal would be complete without the beloved flapjack/ pancake breakfast...lots and lots of thick, fluffy, panjacks or flapcakes.  This is one wonderful meal that can be topped any way you like.  I've seen topped with eggs, hollandaise sauce and cheese.  It's neutral enough to spice it up or sweeten it.  We like it topped with butter, pure maple syrup, honey or jam.  No matter how you do it, it'll fill your tummy and put a smile on your face.  As all recipes on this site, this one is created in my kitchen as well...  Among all the pancake recipes I've created or tried, this is my favorite and my kids as well.  Mostly because it's yummy and for the cook it's completely simple.  I have provided many ingredients that can be added or removed and you still end up with a yummy jack!

2 Cups Brown Rice Flour
2/3 Cup Arrowroot Flour (starch)
1 tsp. Salt (celtic sea salt or regular)
1 tsp. Baking soda
2 tsp. Cream of tartar
1 egg (optional)
2 tsp. Pure Almond Extract (optional)
1 1/3 Cup Pacific Foods Rice Milk (gluten free) or regular milk
2/3 Cup Water
2 Tbsp. Honey or Pure Maple Syrup (optional)
1 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon (optional)
Pinch of Nutmeg (optional)
Pinch or Ground Coriander (optional)

Mix dry ingredients together.  Add remaining ingredients and mix well.  Pour into greased pan and cook until bubbles start to present, then flip.  Top with any goodie you like...(This recipe is best when followed as directed, especially with the spices...however, it's still yummy if you can't have any of the *optional ingredients. If you find these are too thick, increase the liquid by 1/4 cup. Give it a try and see what you think. 

Creamy French Toast

Stuffed with anything...French Toast bits!

Another yummy breakfast that hits the spot.  Using some pre-made gluten-free bread, you can do this in a snap.  If you don't have any, I use this recipe from Elanas Pantry.
http://www.elanaspantry.com/gluten-free-bread-20/  However, I do omit the flaxseed & the vinegar: I replace it with 1/4 cup canola oil.  I also use honey in place of agave.  If you choose to leave in the flaxseed, it will add Omega's to your meal.  I like this bread recipe because it's rather course and dry and holds together well when cooking.
Slice the bread in 1/4"-1/2" slices.
Spread "Smuckers Simply Fruit Apricot" spread over one piece of the bread. (you may also puree some other fruit-peaches, apples, etc. and use it.  You may also use, peanut butter and jelly, almond butter and honey, whatever floats your boat.)
Spread some cream cheese over the other piece.
Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Sandwich them together.
Cut the sandwich into 1/2" slices (as shown below).

In a small bowl add: (This mixture is enough for 3 sandwiches)
1 egg
1 1/2 Tbsp. Milk (if too eggy, add a little more milk)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla or almond extract
Whisk with a fork until well blended. Dip each piece of the sliced sandwich into the egg mixture and put into a heated greased skillet. Cook on low-medium, turning until each side is golden brown.  I like to serve my bits with a side of fruit and a small dipping bowl of  rasberry, blueberry or pomegranate Kefir or top with pure maple syrup.  This is one meal that can be eaten just by itself...Enjoy!
