## Content

Combine an allergy specialist, a paediatric dietician and an occupational therapist, and you get a team of people able to provide a guide to help your family thrive. *Allergy Sense for Families* includes over 70 recipes, using simple ingredients which require minimal equipment and have quick preparation times.

This favourite breakfast or teatime treat is gluten-, dairy- and nut-free. The egg can be replaced with egg replacer to make it egg-free.

**Ingredients**

- 20 minutes
- Serves 4
- 200g all-purpose gluten-free flour
- 2 eggs
- 600ml coconut milk
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 cup strawberries
- 4 tbsp maple syrup

**Instructions**

1. Add the flour to a bowl, then gradually whisk in the eggs and milk until smooth. This can also be done in a food processor.
2. Heat a thin layer of oil in a non-stick pan until a drop of water skitters when dropped on the surface. Add 3 tbsp of the batter to the pan, swirling to coat the base of the pan.
3. Cook the pancake for 2 minutes, until firm and golden brown underneath, then use a non-stick spatula to flip it over. Cook for one minute more.
4. Slide the pancake onto a warm plate. Continue with the rest of the batter, stacking the finished pancakes between sheets of wax paper so they don't stick together.
5. Use a flower or star-shaped cutter to stamp out shaped pancakes, if desired. Serve with strawberries and drizzle with maple syrup. **ML**
