    Other half is on a yeast-free diet. Was searching online for a recipe for yeast-free pancakes for pancake Tuesday and only found two - one uses cup measurements and buckwheat and flour made from blitzing almonds. The other uses potato flour, rice flour, xantham gum and gluten-free baking powder. Surely there must be an easier way? Is there yeast-free flour out there and which would be best for pancakes?

    Doesn't have to be GF or dairy free, just yeast and hassle free.

    :confused: I have never seen yeast in any pancake recipe! (think only in crumpets)

    Usually just flour, egg, milk, maybe sugar & some oil or water too.

    Self raising flour does not have yeast in it, in case thats what you were thinking.

    OK. So i can just use ordinary flour? That'll help.
    I take it the rice flour and other flours were for other intolerances then?

    Yes, just regular plain flour, I actually make mine with porridge oats for breakfast.

    Probably, I expect if you entered "yeast free pancakes" you might get sites which focus on GF and other specific "free" recipes.

    Pancakes or crepes? If your trying to make something like a pikelet, crumpet or english muffin (which have yeast) try a recipe for scotch drop pancakes where the raising agent is usually in the self raising flour. Or try a souffle pancake where a crepe batter has whisked egg whites folded through it to give it air - these tend to spread out in the pan - so a small pan for a small pancake. Try Ramsay's recipe here.
