Wheat free recipes

My youngest son (3) has been having pretty bad ecxema. A friend of mine told me to try to get him off wheat to see if that could be a reason. So this week has been wheat-free for him. I really feel bad for him since he is a bread and jam and butter boy. I must say though that I have been impressed by his restraint and compliance with the new rule. Anyway, I found these two wheat-free recipes that I tried this week and which everybody enjoyed. So here they are:


Wheat-free feather pancake


Ingredients:

4 eggs
1 tsp. baking powder
3 tbsp. sugar
1/4 c. water or milk
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. white rice flour
2 c. sour cream or yogurt  (Any kind of yogurt works well)



Directions:

Blend all ingredients until there are no lumps. Drop batter by spoon onto lightly greased griddle until 1 side bubbles. Flip pancakes and bake until golden brown. Can be covered and chilled overnight.


Cut it in half when I made it. Will do the whole recipe next time.


Rice flour crepes (wheat free)





  • 1 cup rice flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 tablespoon melted margarine


Directions:



  1. In a medium sized mixing bowl, beat together all ingredients until smooth.

  2. Pour, using 1/4 cup measure into a medium sized, hot, non-stick (or greased) skillet.

  3. Turn skillet to thinly, evenly distribute batter in a circle.

  4. Cook about 30 seconds per side.


I made sweet crepes with these. Omitted the salt and put 2 tbs sugar instead. Then filled them with an apple banana filling. Then, spread melted butter and spinkled some sugar-cinnamoon on top; And finally, baked it for 20 min in a 350 oven.


Apple-banana filling:


Cook together on a stove, 2 apples, 1/2 tsp cinnamoon, nutmeg, 4 tbs of sugar and some lemon juice. Mash along with a ripe banana. Set aside. Can add some raisins soaked in rum.

    We also went through this problem when my now 22 year-old son was 3. After trying different dietary changes, we finally discovered that for him, peanut butter was the cause. Does keeping him from wheat seem to be helping? I hope you can figure out what is causing it soon so your little boy will have some relief. The recipes look yummy!

    Peace and blessings,
