I made some minor changes: used Trader Joe's frozen seafood blend (scallops, shrimp, squid) in place of all seafood. Used fresh herbs (basil, tarragon, and parsley), no green pepper, and used hazelnut rather than dairy milk because it's what I had on hand. Suddenly had to leave right as it was done, and came back to cold pasta... and it was so delicious! I will totally make this again, and maybe even follow the recipe closer next time. ;)

I wanted to make this recipe without wheat so I subbed oat flour, and then increased the baking powder to counteract the relative heaviness of oat flour. I don't think I needed to do this, in retrospect, because they turned out like cake! Very delicious cake! I did use 2 cups of brown sugar, but didn't pack it down. Also, I used coconut oil instead of shortening, since it has the same consistency and would bring out the coconut flavor. Only giving four stars because I made so many changes. Hoping this review helps others who may be thinking of going wheat-free or using coconut oil. It came out amazing and I definitely will be making this again!

As if this recipe needs another review! I'll just comment that I exchange a half cup of flour for oat flour; it's delicious! The creamier the milk, the more decadent the pancake. Use fresh good quality baking powder, like Bob's Red Mill (aluminum free), and you will notice the difference!
