Crispy Salty Bacon On A Fat Stack Of Pancakes Drizzled in Sweet Maple Sauce & Bejewelled with Tangy Blueberries -

 The Americans sure know how to do breakfast! Here's how to make it slightly healthier for you but just as delicious...

As gram flour is made from chickpeas the result is unlike traditional pancake mix (which is quite bland) Gram flour tastes exactly like chickpeas so it's a nice touch to add some vanilla essence to sweeten it n.b. it will taste rank if you try the mix raw! You could also add some sweetened soya milk or almond milk if you want or if you're lactose intolerant. The best way is to play around with quantities. The first batch I made didn't have water and didn't have an egg but I was finding the mixture too thick and sticking to the pan so adjusted it with a little bit of this and that and came up with this final recipe.

Gram flour is gluten free, contains higher amounts of protein than other flours, high amounts of magnesium, phosphorous and folate as well as fibre and is a stable ingredient in Indian cooking where it's used for traditional items such as Pakoras, Poppadoms and Bhajis. Check Out This Blog Post On Indian Cooking for more information.
