Tips

To evenly cook gluten-free pancakes or pikelets at the low temperature needed, you must ‘season’ the pan before you commence cooking, even if it is a non-stick pan. To do this, melt a teaspoon of butter or margarine in the pan and heat until dark brown and slightly burned. Wipe out the pan with a paper towel and grease again with a small amount of margarine on a paper towel. Regulate your heat to medium and it is now ready to cook your pancakes or pikelets.
