Gluten-free is all the rage nowadays, but I was aware of it long before the fad started. My cousin has an actual gluten allergy, and so whenever she visited, we tried to cater to her needs, making foods that were both gluten-free, healthy and delicious. Many Asian recipes call for rice flour (as rice is a large basis of the Asian diet), and I figured these pancakes would be the perfect start to any morning. These pancakes are simple to make; you prep the ingredients the night before, and in the morning, all you have to do is cook them! You’ll find it hard to stop after just one pancake, and that’s ok. Eat on!
