A reliable recipe for light and fluffy pancakes using gluten-free flour, achieving the classic tangy buttermilk flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk (or 1 1/2 cups milk mixed with 1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar or lemon juice, let stand 5 minutes)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the griddle
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk (or soured milk), eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a whisk or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat. The griddle is ready when a drop of water sizzles immediately.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side. You will see bubbles form on the surface and the edges will look set when it is time to flip.
  7. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Serve immediately with your preferred toppings.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use a gluten-free flour blend that already contains xanthan gum. If your blend does not include it, add 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the dry ingredients.
  • If you need to make the batter ahead, store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour. You may need to whisk it gently and add a splash of milk if it thickens too much upon standing.
  • To keep pancakes warm while cooking the rest of the batch, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet in a 200 degree Fahrenheit oven.
