Two of my sons and I are gluten free. I’ve made these twice now and my six year old informed me this morning that “these are the best-est panny-cakes EVER!” Thanks:)

Jessica, So glad you and your boys enjoyed the pancakes. I have the biggest smile on my face right now – thanks for letting me know. :)

hi – quick questions – why do you separate the eggs? do you add the whites to the mixture as well (i’m assuming so), and if so, when? thanks. :)

Heather, I separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff white peaks form. I then fold them back into the batter before cooking. It makes for super fluffy pancakes!

I’ve never used seltzer water. What do I add to the water to make it seltzer?

Kristina, Seltzer water is carbonated, and it can be found at any grocery store.

I was so excited to try these and I made them this morning and the consistency was so thick and crumbly I threw them out :(
I must have done something wrong but I am not sure what. When should I have added the egg whites to the batter? That is the only thing I think I might have done wrong.

Stephanie,
Let’s see, been a while since I’ve made them, and I just read over this recipe. My directions aren’t very clear, are they? Sorry about that! I whisked all ingredients together, folding in the beaten egg whites last. Also, I’ve been told the brand of coconut flour can make a big difference. I’ve only ever used Bob’s Red Mill.

Stephanie,
OK, just update the recipe. I fold the egg whites into the batter right before adding the 1/4 cup seltzer water and then allow the batter to thicken before frying pancakes.

Thank you for responding so quickly. I am going to try them again, I could tell that cooked correctly they would taste good :)
