Who doesn't like pancakes? Right about now anything to take your mind off the current crisis is worth doing. So today I made my family pancakes for lunch.
If you've tried to do shopping lately it's been hard to get flour, it's like the new gold. Very rare. It's leaving shelves as quick as it's stacked in the supermarket (supposedly thanks to issues packaging). Well fortunately I'm going to tell you a gluten free recipe for pancakes. For a flour substitute you probably haven't used before. That's right this recipe uses chickpea flour.

- Scoop about 3 tablespoons or 1/4 cup of batter into the centre of the pan.
- Cook in the pan until bubbles come through the batter and the edges can be turned. Flip and cook until the other side is golden.
