Gluten-free savory pancakes

 Interesting - these were meant to be matzo balls, but since I couldn't get gluten-free matzo meal at the last minute, I used gluten-free flour.  Well, turns out that it doesn't have the same texture, and the batter never thickened enough to make balls.  So I made lemonade, in a sense.  I made pancakes from the batter - kinda good savory dill pancakes.  Served like latkes with sour cream and apple sauce with lunch on Rosh Hashanah.  Quite nice.  Will try again with gluten free matzo meal when I can.

  • 1 cup gluten free matzo meal * see note
  • 3 eggs
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil * see note
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped dill.

INSTRUCTIONS

(For pancake adaptation, prepare in a non-stick pan as you would any other pancakes. )
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the ingredients and mix well. Let the matzo ball dough chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Bring a pot of water to boil.
  • Roll small matzo balls out of the dough. Know they will grow in size as they cook.
  • Drop them into the boiling water. As the matzo balls cook, they will puff up and rise to the top. Cook for an additional 8 minutes. Use a spoon to flip them over. Note that larger matzo balls will take longer to cook.
  • Remove the matzo balls and add to my Grandma's homemade chicken soup.
