New york style pancakes🤎

These thick, fluffy New york style pancakes are naturally gluten-free & made with just a handful of simple ingredients. They're perfect for slow weekend breakfasts or a cosy morning treat—especially topped with homemade berry jam.

Total cooking time

10–15 minutes

Serves

4 people (approximately 8–10 pancakes)

Ingredients:

  • 3 free-range eggs, separated

  • 125g rice flour

  • 1 tsp gluten-free baking powder

  • 1 tbsp unrefined brown sugar

  • 150ml coconut milk

  • Olive oil, for cooking

Method

1. Prepare the batter

Separate the eggs. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, rice flour & baking powder, sugar & coconut milk until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the pancake mixture, taking care not to knock out too much air.

2. Heat the pan

Lightly coat a frying pan with olive oil and place over a medium heat until hot.

3. Cook the pancakes

Spoon generous tablespoons of batter into the pan, leaving space between each pancake.

Cook for 1–2 minutes on each side until golden, puffed & cooked through.

4. Keep warm

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a serving plate, stacking them as you go to help keep them warm while you finish cooking the remaining batter.

5. Serve

Serve warm with a generous spoonful of homemade berry jam, fresh fruit or your favourite wholesome toppings.

Enjoy while they're warm and fluffy!

Jordanna's tip

For the fluffiest pancakes, use the batter straight away after folding in the egg whites. Letting it sit for too long can cause it to lose its airy texture, resulting in flatter pancakes.

Serve with my Homemade berry jam recipe, fresh berries, sliced banana or a drizzle of honey for a wholesome breakfast the whole family will love.
