Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cassava flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 large organic, pasture-raised eggs
  • 2 T. avocado oil
  • 2 T. maple syrup
  • 1 3/4 cups dairy-free milk

Instructions

  • Start preheating a 10" cast iron skillet over low heat with a 1/2 tsp. of butter, ghee, bacon fat, or coconut oil in the skillet. Spread the oil around once it has melted.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Add the eggs, oil, and maple syrup. Add 1 cup of the milk and begin to whisk the batter. As you are whisking slowly add the remainder of the milk until a smooth batter has been achieved.
  • The batter should be thick but pourable when you go to make the pancakes. Your cast iron skillet should be hot but not steaming when you start cooking the pancakes.
  • Batter Notes: If the batter seems too thin, let it set for 2-3 minutes to thicken. If it seems too thick, whisk in more milk or water 1 T. at a time. You will need to add more milk or water to the batter as you are making the pancakes since the batter will thicken as it sets.
  • Start making the pancakes. Pour or spoon the batter into the hot pan to make cakes of your desired size/shape. Bubbles will form on the tops of the cakes and they will look 'set-up' when they are ready to be flipped. Each side will cook for about 2-3 minutes.
  • The pancakes should be browned when they are flipped. Continue to adjust the heat and thin out the batter as needed as you cook the pancakes.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings or save the pancakes for later!
  • Once cool, you can store these pancakes in an airtight container at room temperature, in the fridge, or you can freeze them.
