I love making pancakes at the weekend for breakfast. This time I madeorange and almond pancakeswhich were gluten and dairy-free too.  They were very yummy, but you can use normal milk or wheat flour if you like.

You’ll need:

• Zest and juice of 1 orange
• 2 medium eggs
• 100g ground almonds
• 50g buckwheat or rice flour
• About 1 cup of almond milk
• 1 Tbsp cocoa powder
• 1tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp sunflower oil

How to make the orange and almond  pancakes:

1. Put all the ingredients into a food processor and whiz until you get a smooth batter – it should be quite thick so add the milk gradually.
2. Let the batter rest for a few minutes.
3. Lightly oil a pancake pan or heavy based frying pan.
4. Add a few dollops of batter, allowing them to spread out into a circle, or put your silicon moulds into the pan and pour in the batter.
5. When the surface of the pancakes have set and look like the moon, flip them over or push them out of the moulds and turn them over. Use a spatula to do this!
6. Cook for another minute and transfer them onto a plate.
7. Make more pancakes using up the all the batter.
8. Serve the pancakes with maple syrup or orange marmalade and some toasted almonds if you like.
