Grain-free Silva Dollars (or How to Silence a Group of 8)

My sister from New Zealand has been visiting with her family. It's been a happy, crazy time as we love on our four children combined, ages 5 & under. Highlights have included mini golf, beach dates, farm tours and of course pancakes.

Even though they're paleo and my little family has food allergies, we still managed to created this crowd-pleasing, high-protein batch.

Grain-free Silva Dollars (or How to Silence a Group of 8)
adapted from Nourished Kitchen
serves about 8 (about 20 silver dollar pancakes)

Ingredients
8 large eggs
4 T applesauce
2 T honey
1/2 to 1 c coconut flour
1 t unrefined sea salt
1 t baking soda
ghee or coconut oil (for frying pancakes)
cinnamon (for sprinkling the pancakes)




Instructions
Mix eggs, applesauce and honey into a food processor and pulse until slightly mixed. Add coconut flour, salt and baking soda slowly to the liquid ingredients and process until they form a firm batter that is still liquid enough to pour off a spoon. (Or you can just do it really fast by hand like us!)

Melt ghee or coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium to medium-low heat. Pour a heaping tablespoon of the pancake batter into the hot fat, sprinkle with cinnamon. Gently fry the pancake for a few minutes, until browned on the bottom; flip the pancake and fry for a further one to two minutes.

Serve with honey, fruit or yogurt. Enjoy!

I'm thinking pancakes have got to be the easiest way to cook for 8!
