German Puffy Pancake

DH was getting antsy for some different breakfast ideas, so I pulled this recipe out of one of my Better Homes & Garden cookbooks. It was always a hit before DH went gluten-free, so I played with it over the last few weeks to make it gluten-free for him. It's sooo good.

German Puffy Pancake

2 eggs

1/2 c. milk

1 1/2 tbsp. butter

1/2 c. rice flour

1 tsp. xanthan gum

1/4 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tbsp. potato (or tapioca, or corn) starch

Put butter in a cold cake or pie pan in the oven and turn it on to 400 degrees. While oven is heating, beat eggs & add milk. Combine dry ingredients in a separate container, mixing well, then set aside.

Once oven is preheated, mix the dry ingredients in to the wet, and remove pan from oven. Use a pastry brush to butter the sides, then add in the pancake batter.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown, puffy, and delicious. Serve immediately.

Topping suggestions: nutella, fruit, jam, powdered sugar, nut butter, and/or syrup.

I tried something similar to this called German Pancakes. I did use Bob's Red Mill gluten free AP flour for it (no xanthan gum needed).

Very simple recipe and the only change I'd make is to add a dash or two of salt. I dumped all the ingredients in my blender and blended for a very short period of time. I see no reason the recipe wouldn't easily double to make in a 9 x 13" glass baking dish.

The success of this dish is dependent on melting the butter in the baking dish in the oven and then pouring the batter in the hot baking dish. Don't open the oven door and peak until it's done! Now I need to find a recipe for gluten free popovers (very similiar type of batter)

Back in the 70's a friend gave me a recipe called "Hootenanys"...basically the same type of puffed pancake recipe and my kids loved it...I think they still make it today.

Mmmm, that sounds so good! O.k., a couple of questions: How does the pancake get "puffy" without any leavening? Not that it really matters, I suppose...just curious on that one.

My other question is a bit more important--do you know if potato, tapioca, and corn starches are all interchangeable, in any recipe that calls for one or the other? This would be a good thing to know, for people with allergies to one or more of these....like I may end up being for all I know, as my doc wants to test me for food allergies! :huh:

I can't even consider the possibility of being allergic to all three, oh please God no..... :ph34r:

Yum!! I'm making this the next time we want pancakes :D

Yes they are. I can't do tapioca, so I always substitute either potato or cornstarch--or a combination of both.

      Thank you Scott, it means a lot especially with the speed you responded.. In life I've learned that you got to be openminded and open to understand and adjust  .Thank you again I hope she will come around to the adjustment as it's not going away and it's for her own comfort and health in the long run....Thanks

      I’m so sorry to hear about the challenges you and your daughter are facing. A celiac diagnosis, especially during adolescence, can be overwhelming, and it’s understandable that she’s struggling with the lifestyle changes it requires. Coupled with the complexities of self-medication and signs of an eating disorder, this is undoubtedly a difficult time for your family. It’s great that you’re already engaged in therapies—this is a crucial step. For celiac disease, connecting with support groups (like those from the Celiac Disease Foundation) and working with a dietitian specializing in gluten-free diets can help ease the transition. For the emotional and mental health aspects, family therapy or support groups for parents of teens with similar struggles might provide additional tools and comfort. You’re doing the right thing by seeking help and information—stay patient and compassionate with both your daughter and yourself as you navigate this journey together.

      It is only the very start of this journey but it's actually been one of the hardest things we have had to deal with as parents.she started complaining about her stomach and after months and test after test the diagnosis came back as Celiac disease but while this was happening she has been self medicating with THC and also started making showing signs of a eating disorder, we are in therapies of all sorts in relation to these issues and well I'm just reaching out to find any and all information tools and knowledge as at 16 my daughter is fighting the change but it will be with her for a lifetime so I just trying to do all I can do ... If anyone can help with anything like anything mentioned please reach out to me.....thank you all for existing

      Once you have removed the inflammatories, it is time to focus on the deficiencies.  A lot of them not specific to Celiac, but deficiency in them elicits symptoms associated with Celiac. According to research, celiac disease tends to be more prevalent in urban areas compared to rural areas.  Same is true with airborne viruses.  Because urban residents get less sunlight.  To top it off we use lotion and gear to block the little light there is.  This compremises the vitamin D blood level.  A virus attack further lowers vitamin D and the immune system loses control over the Celiac genes and they go into acute symptoms. 40% to 75% depending depending on country are vitamin D deficient. 50% do not eat the Adequit Intake for potassium (4700 mg a day) 90% do n ot eat the Adequit Intake for Choline. Iodine intake since 1970 had dropped 50%.  The western diet is typically excessive in omega 6 fatty acid compared to omega 3.  Above 14:1 by some estimates.  So they sell us expensive, processed oils to compensate.  Anyway after 10 years gluten free myself,  here is what has helped me in just the past few years; once I realized I was at a healing plateau and just GFD would not cut it, and reallized my deficiencies.  Most recently, I started a statin which I only took for two weeks before it started to cripple me.   Got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid to 2000 and am more flexible now Plus HDL went 29 to 44, eGFR from 55 to 79. I also learned if the pharmacist gets a prescription for Niacin that it is dealer's choice whether you get Nicotinic Acid or Niacinimide.  And it comes out of a regular vitamin manufacturer.   "likely deficiencies and what I take to boost my intake (I get anorexic at the drop of a hat so I take them to keep me stable):  the ones that helped me the most noticibly Was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Nicotinic Acid - increase capillary blood flow, lower cholesterol. I recently started 2000 mg a day instead of a statin which I cannot tolerate. I the first month my HDL went from 29 to 44. eGFR (kidney function) jumped from 55 ti 75. It also has make my whole body less stiff. The ichy, flushing with the first few doses goes away. The non flush forms of vitamin B3 do not work. It is the relaxing of the capillaries and tendons. 500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation Whole Milk Vanilla yogurt to which I add 100 grams of raspberrys, black berries and blueberries has lots of probiotics and makes my tummy and body happy. Red Bull has sugar (not high fructose corn syrup) and the vitamins (B2,3,5,6 need to metabolize to ATP energy and Taurine as an antioxident). It is a good source of energy for me because my genetic hyperlipidemia does not process complex carbs well.

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.
