Mama's GF Pancakes

[sponsored content & disclaimer]
Thank you to Log Cabin for sponsoring my post about updated traditions in my household. To learn more about Log Cabin Syrups (which are all free of High Fructose Corn Syrup), breakfast for dinner, and other new ways to update traditions in your home, click here.I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.
Do you like to break traditions? I know we have broken a few of them in my family.
I am a traditional girl in some ways, but I also love to mix things up!
For a few years our favorite movie to watch at Christmas was Die Hard...
Hey - the movie takes place at Christmas, has tons of action, and a happy ending - what's not to like!
One of our favorite 'new' traditions is having breakfast for dinner.
It took me awhile to get my husband used to this, but now the whole family is on board!
I have mentioned a few times that my Mom has some great Gluten Free recipes
she has come up with on her own. One of them is her pancake mix.
I can honestly say it makes the best pancakes I have ever had. With or without gluten!
I decided to share it with you today, with my Mom's permission.
She makes up her pancake mix and gives me a new bag of it whenever I run out -
I know, I am spoiled....
She probably won't do the same thing for you though,
So I will put the recipe for the mix and the instructions for the pancakes at the end of the post.
You just add a few basic fresh ingredients to the mix to make the cakes.
Buttermilk, eggs, and oil.
Stir those ingredients in with one cup of the mix, and you are ready to go!
I really think one of the ingredients that makes these so good is the corn flour.
It makes the texture and consistency of the cakes so light
and the outside of the pancake a tiny bit crisp.
Believe me, they are amazing!
And please ignore the look of my griddle, it gets used a lot!!
When I serve breakfast for dinner, I usually include either sausage or bacon.
My manly man doesn't believe it can be a real meal without meat.
I, on the other hand, have no problem just filling up on pancakes!
With a little real butter, some syrup, and whipped cream.......
Just the way nature intended them!
Oh, and strawberries too, of course..
It doesn't matter if you are gluten free or not - these are worth a new pancake mix tradition!
And I bet you won't get any complaints if you serve them for dinner either..
Then afterwards the whole family can watch Die Hard.....or not..
