Simple Jacks! from Kami's Kitchen...

If it's one thing country folk like, it's yummy food and lots of it.  No country meal would be complete without the beloved flapjack/ pancake breakfast...lots and lots of thick, fluffy, panjacks or flapcakes.  This is one wonderful meal that can be topped any way you like.  I've seen topped with eggs, hollandaise sauce and cheese.  It's neutral enough to spice it up or sweeten it.  We like it topped with butter, pure maple syrup, honey or jam.  No matter how you do it, it'll fill your tummy and put a smile on your face.  As all recipes on this site, this one is created in my kitchen as well...  Among all the pancake recipes I've created or tried, this is my favorite and my kids as well.  Mostly because it's yummy and for the cook it's completely simple.  I have provided many ingredients that can be added or removed and you still end up with a yummy jack!

2 Cups Brown Rice Flour
2/3 Cup Arrowroot Flour (starch)
1 tsp. Salt (celtic sea salt or regular)
1 tsp. Baking soda
2 tsp. Cream of tartar
1 egg (optional)
2 tsp. Pure Almond Extract (optional)
1 1/3 Cup Pacific Foods Rice Milk (gluten free) or regular milk
2/3 Cup Water
2 Tbsp. Honey or Pure Maple Syrup (optional)
1 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon (optional)
Pinch of Nutmeg (optional)
Pinch or Ground Coriander (optional)

Mix dry ingredients together.  Add remaining ingredients and mix well.  Pour into greased pan and cook until bubbles start to present, then flip.  Top with any goodie you like...(This recipe is best when followed as directed, especially with the spices...however, it's still yummy if you can't have any of the *optional ingredients. If you find these are too thick, increase the liquid by 1/4 cup. Give it a try and see what you think.  Please remember to site my blog at Kami's kitchen the gluten-freefarmgirl.  Thanks and have a wonderful meal!
