These pancakes are good. These were eaten and enjoyed even by my non gluten-free family members.
Lemon poppy seed is one of my personal favorites. Lemon poppy seed muffins, lemon poppy seed cookies, lemon poppy seed cakes…
Let’s just say I have an obsession.
Some of my family members are gluten-free due to gluten sensitivities, so I try to make recipes they can enjoy too. Ancient grains like spelt, rye, and einkorn, which are lower in gluten, tend to not invoke their gluten sensitivity as harshly as traditional flour.
Stay tuned to see more ancient grain recipes!
