-
Whisk the eggs, almond milk and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
-
Add the almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and stir until no dry flour is left. Leave the batter for 5 minutes to thicken.
-
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat and melt a little of the butter. Spoon in 3 tablespoons of batter for each pancake, leaving room between them.
-
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until bubbles show at the edges and the underside is golden. Turn and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more. Keep the pancakes warm under a clean tea towel while you cook the rest, adding a little butter to the pan between batches.
-
Stack three pancakes on each plate and serve with the raspberries.
Tips for Making Almond Flour Pancakes
- Keep the heat at medium-low. Almond flour browns faster than wheat flour, and a hot pan leaves a dark crust over a raw middle.
- If the batter spreads thin in the pan, stir in one more tablespoon of almond flour; if it is stiff, add a splash of almond milk.
- Turn each pancake once, with a wide spatula, and only when the edges look set.
- Check the label on the baking powder if anyone at the table avoids gluten.
