1 egg
2 cups rice flour
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Take half of the dough and roll it to desired thickness between two sheets of parchment. I went with about 1/8-1/4th of an inch they were thin and crispy perfect.
Cut into desired shapes and put on a silpat covered pan.

preheat non stick pan on medium heat
Whisk together all powders and add all liquids(I like to whip my eggs together with my almond milk before adding)
Mix until almost smooth, a few lumps are ok!
Pour a 1/3 cup of batter on heated nonstick pan and shape into a circle with back of spoon.
Use a flipper to flip pancakes when the center starts bubbling slightly and the bottom is a golden brown.
I put my finished pancakes in the oven at 170F to keep warm until I’m all done
Feeds 4, or 3 hungry people!
