I started this recipe with the intention to make soft plantain tortillas for shrimp tacos, however what I got was something even more fantastic – delicious, fluffy, pancakes that don’t over-do it with nut flours. The pancakes still worked amazing as an open-face bottom for my shrimp tacos (it was a little crumbly to roll up into a shell.) I then adapted the recipe, taking out the garlic, onion, and salt for a terrific pancake that can be topped with syrup, rolled up with nut butter and jam, or covered in your favourite fruity preserve!
