Allergens

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups gluten
  • free all
  • purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (dairy
  • free option: almond milk)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz feta quark cheese
  • 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten free flour, eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in melted butter until well combined. Heat a non stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour ¼ cup of the pancake batter into the pan, spreading it evenly. Cook for 2 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter. In another bowl, spread a thin layer of feta quark cheese onto half of the cooked pancakes. Top each cheese covered pancake with a mix of fresh mixed berries and a sprinkle of chopped walnuts (optional). Place the remaining pancakes on top to create a sandwich, gently pressing down to help them adhere together.

Chef’s Insight

To achieve the perfect fluffy pancakes, ensure your frying pan is well-heated before pouring in the batter. Allow the pancakes to cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look firm.

Notes

Make sure to use gluten-free all-purpose flour for a truly gluten-free dish. - Feel free to experiment with different types of berries or nuts for added variety.
