Ingredients:

  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup of buttermilk
  • 1 package of gluten free chocolate cake mix

Candied pecans (optional)

  • 1 cup of caster sugar
  • 1/3 cup of maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon of water
  • 1 cup of pecans

Method:

1. In a large bowl, combine eggs and buttermilk, whisking together. Add cake mix, stirring until smooth.

2. Using a non-stick pan, cook thin discs of batter until cooked through, flipping halfway through.

3. Let cool and top with chocolate syrup and candied pecans.

4. Optional: To make candied pecans, in a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, maple syrup, and water. Cook for 10 minutes. To test, drop a small amount of mix into a glass of cold water. If it sets hard, the syrup is ready. Add pecans to syrup and stir. Pour onto a lined baking tray and separate pecans with a spoon. Let cool.
