Almond Flour Pancakes with Lemon Curd
Start with a tribute to the classic buttermilk pancake, transform it into something gluten-free, and then complete the transformation with a tangy lemon curd you'll want to put on everything. Almond flour and coconut flour come together to make pancakes that are light and fluffy on the inside and have a delightful crispiness on the outside. And once that lemon curd hits, it's party time in your mouth.
Pancakes are a breakfast staple, but if you're gluten-free, they can be a challenge. Almond flour and coconut flour are two popular gluten-free flours, but they can be tricky to work with. Almond flour is very fine and can make pancakes dense, while coconut flour is very absorbent and can make pancakes dry. This recipe strikes a balance between the two flours, resulting in pancakes that are light and fluffy on the inside and have a delightful crispiness on the outside. The lemon curd is the perfect topping, adding a tangy brightness that complements the nutty flavor of the pancakes.
