Ingredients:
- 4 1/2 tablespoons ghee, avocado oil, or coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons packed blonde coconut sugar or maple sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla or plain almond milk
- 3 large organic free-range eggs
- 1 1/2 cups organic blanched fine-ground almond flour (about 6 1/2 ounces)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Maple syrup, for serving
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of ghee (or oil of choice), coconut or maple sugar, and almond milk. Whisk until well combined.
- Add the eggs to the mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Gradually add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients, whisking until a thick batter forms. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the batter to thicken slightly.
- Heat a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the remaining ghee to the pan and swirl to coat.
- Using a measuring cup or ladle, scoop a heaping 1/4 cup of batter into the pan, spreading it out to form a pancake about 4 inches in diameter. Repeat to add one more pancake to the pan, leaving space between each pancake.
- Cook the pancakes until the surface is smooth with several tiny bubbles starting to pop up and the underside is golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes using a thin, wide spatula and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the second side is golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining oil and batter to make 4 more pancakes in 2 batches.
Serve:
