Black rice, also known as forbidden rice, derives its name from when it was first cultivated for the sole consumption by the emperor in China. It is still cultivated in small quantities, and is not as popular as brown or white rice. However, studies have shown that the bran hull of black rice contains significantly more vitamin E than that of brown rice and more anthocyanin antioxidants than blueberries! It has a rich, nutty flavor and pairs beautifully in sweet dishes, such as this one where it is combined with coconut.

This is a beautiful stack of pancakes that the Mister made. This is not an ordinary stack of pancakes. They are gluten-free. After trying a lot of different recipes for gluten-free pancakes that only left me frustrated, I decided to write my own. Frustration is quite a motivator for writing my own recipes. I find myself writing more of my own recipes as time goes on – writing, experimenting, tweaking. Until I get it right. After I wrote this recipe, the Mister went into the kitchen and made them using my own gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. The pancakes came out light, fluffy, golden. We enjoy them smeared with butter, topped with maple syrup. Perfect.
