Gluten Free Banana Pancakes and Cinnamon Syrup

Over the Christmas break my mother and her husband visited, they are not gluten free but very open to trying the recipes that I'm working on. Plates were definitely cleaned the morning I made these!

BANANA PANCAKES:

• 3/4 cup brown rice flour
• 1/8 cup potato flour
• 1/8 cup corn starch
• 4 tablespoons sugar (I used organic cane sugar)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon powder ginger
• 2 beaten eggs
• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 4 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1 nicely ripe banana

1. Mix all dry ingredients, make a well in the center and pour in wet ingredients (eggs through oil) and mix till just combined. You can add a bit more buttermilk if the batter is too thick. 

2. Slice banana and heat large skillet greased with butter or oil. 

3. Pour scoops of 1/4 cup of batter onto pan with a medium heat. Top pancakes with banana slices. Flip and fry till both sides are golden. 

CINNAMON SYRUP

• 1/2 cup whipping cream
• 1 cup cane sugar
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 Tablespoon corn starch

1. Mix all ingredients in a cool cooking pot. 

2. Heat till bubbling and thick.

Enjoy pancakes with hot syrup poured over it!
