Gluten-free Garlic Flatbread

I have been preparing breakfast at home and bring it to work daily for the past year. In order to moderate my weight and geared towards healthy eating, I try to avoid bread and gluten food for breakfast. Therefore, I will search for gluten-free baking goods and other foods to be taken for breakfast.

I wanted to prepare hummus for breakfast, but do not want to have carrot or celery sticks with it. So I found this gluten-free flatbread. It was easy to make and taste good with my homemade hummus. I will try again with other gluten-free flours to see if it can hold up. Otherwise, this is great as appetizer or snacks.

4. Once the pan is at an even, moderate heat, spoon 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan, allowing the batter to spread out, it should be roughly an 4-inch circle (although you can make the flatbread large or smaller if desired).

5. Cook the flatbread on the first side until tiny bubbles begin to form around the outside. Flip the flatbread and allow to cook on the other side for about until golden and brown. Remove from the heat and transfer to a rack. Repeat this process until all of the batter is used. I made about seven 4-inch size quite thick flatbreads.

6. Serve the flatbread while warm and crisp. I had mine with homemade hummus.

7. Cover and store leftover flatbread in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Microwave or heat up before using.

Thick and Fluffy Pancakes

An intensive search on the web brought me to this recipe. The result was as claimed - thick and fluffy pancakes. I was impressed by it and truly loved how thick and fluffy the pancakes turned out to be. Normal recipes I tried can't give that thick pancakes.

Recipe for Thick and Fluffy Pancakes, adapted from InspiredTaste.

Ingredients:
195g Plain flour
2 tbsp Sugar
1 tbsp Baking powder
3/4 tsp Fine Sea salt
295g Milk
1 large egg
60g Unsalted butter, melted, plus more for skillet
1 tsp Vanilla extract

Method:

1. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and the salt in a medium bowl.
2. Warm milk in the microwave or on top of stove until lukewarm, not hot.
3. Whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and the vanilla extract until combined. (By warming the milk slightly, the melted butter mixes into the milk instead of turning into small lumps).
4. Heat a large skillet/pan over medium heat. 
5. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture, pour milk mixture into the well and use a fork to stir until you no longer see clumps of flour. It is okay if the batter has small lumps – it is important not to over-mix the batter. (The batter will be on the thicker side)

6. Lightly brush skillet with melted butter. Use a 1/4-cup measuring cup to spoon batter onto skillet. Gently spread the batter into a 4-inch circle.
7. When edges look dry, and bubbles start to appear and pop on the top surfaces of the pancake, turn over. This takes about 2 minutes. Once flipped, cook another 1 to 2 minutes or until lightly browned and cooked in the middle.
