Gluten-Free Pancake Recipe for Your Little Gourmet
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup milk or non-dairy milk for a dairy-free option)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or oil for a dairy-free option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, and salt.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk (or non-dairy milk), egg, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for about 5-10 minutes. This helps the gluten-free flour absorb the liquid and gives you fluffier pancakes.
- Cooking: Heat a griddle or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
- Spoon Batter: Spoon 1/4 cup portions of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to spread the batter into a round shape if needed.
- Cook Until Bubbles Form: Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, and the edges look set.
- Flip and Cook: Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the griddle and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
Enjoy your delicious gluten-free pancakes!
