Pancake Day, otherwise known as Shove Tuesday is just around the corner. Batter-based foods can be tricky if you have a gluten-free diet, so here are 4 shop-bought gluten-free pancakes and our favourite GF pancake recipe!
Historically, Shrove Tuesday is a traditional feast before the start of Lent, the 40 days fasting period in the lead up to Easter. So, it was an opportunity to use up eggs and fats.
Ready-made Pancakes…
These pre-cooked pancakes are perfect for a busy school run breakfast or a quick snack.
1. Genius Gluten-free Pancakes
These scotch-style pancakes are perfect with a little bit of salted butter and syrup. They only take 2 minutes in the toaster, so they’re great if you’re in a morning rush. They are also milk free which is great if you also suffer from lactose intolerance.
2. M&S Gluten-free Golden Syrup Pancakes
Not many of the supermarket’s own-brand gluten-free pancakes are fantastic but these are pretty good. Unlike other options, these aren’t overly sweet and have a nice chewy texture.
