Egg-Free Pancakes

Hello,

My intention was to write in this blog as often as I can. The truth is I hate to write and who has the time anymore. Therefore, I have decided to post recipes. In addition to my love for baking, I love to cook.  I believe all my recipes are from God. God seems to slowly introduce the foods I miss and guides me to making delicious foods to be enjoyed by everyone.
These pancakes are better than any egg filled ones and a favorite in our home. Our children and their friends request these pancakes and it is fun to have breakfast for dinner!!!

Enjoy!!!

2 cups flour

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp baking soda

3 tbs oil (I use Canola oil)

3 tbs water

2 tsp baking powder

1 1/2 cups milk

Add flour, sugar and baking soda and stir in a large mixing bowl.

In a separate small bowl add oil, water and baking powder and stir until it bubbles- If it doesn't bubble your baking powder is old and inactive.

Add this to the flour mixture immediately and mix. Last add milk and mix.

This batter makes 10 nice size pancakes. I usually double the batter and freeze the left- overs. The pancakes freeze great and you just put it in the toaster and it tastes the same as if you just cooked them!

Thankful!

It seems appropriate to write my first blog on Thanksgiving. I am so grateful to the Lord for my new career and business. I have met and had the privilege to bake for families who have been impacted with allergies. Not to mention, the beautiful people who wanted to have a celebration and provide baked goods that everyone can enjoy. It is a true blessing to provide this service.
I understand how socially isolating it is to have food allergies. Three years ago, I was diagnosed with a debilitating form of migraines called hemiplegic migraines. Basically, these migraines mimic a stroke and I experience neurological effects that can last for days. There are several different triggers to these migraines but the most life changing has been food triggers. The major food triggers are MSG, tyramine, eggs, and soy and through medication and diet my migraines are more manageable.   
The  Lord used the pit of migraines to give me a dream and a purpose in my life.  Once my husband and I went out on faith to start this business the Lord supernaturally opened doors for us. Even through setbacks, God is teaching and equipping us to do His work through this business.
I pray over my baked goods for healing and also a hedge of protection around these children and adults with food allergies. I pray that this blog and Freely Simple can increase the awareness of the seriousness of food allergies facing our society today.
I am looking forward to sharing this journey with you.
