Paleo coconut pancakes

Yum! Recipe below: 1/2 cup coconut flour 1 cup coconut milk 4 eggs 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp vanilla cinnamon to taste coconut oil for cooking First - make sure all your ingredients are room temperature.  I don't know why all the recipe sites do not tell you this but any recipe mix like this must be at room temp - the eggs, coconut milk and the flour (i keep mine in the fridge) all must be room temp or the batter will just be too thick.  I learned that lesson trying to make cream puffs and wondering why sometimes my paleo pancakes would work and sometimes not.  So.  That said... I basically just put all the ingredients in the bowl and mix them with a fork until the ingredients are blended.  You should be able to easily pour the mix into the pan.  I use coconut oil in the pan to fry the pancakes.  Let them cook on the first side so that you see some holes in them and then flip them. If you must have your sugar - then at least use pure maple syrup please :

The corned beef sandwich was the perfect size for me and I enjoyed every bite.  After the sandwich I
