Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups gluten-free flour blend (one with xanthan gum)
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ¼ cups milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter or neutral oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Method
 

  1. Whisk together flour blend, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry. Stir gently until just combined, a few lumps are okay. Let batter rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly butter it. For each pancake, pour ¼ cup batter. Cook 2-3 minutes per side, flipping when bubbles appear and edges look set.
  5. Stack pancakes onto a warm plate, top with butter and maple syrup, and serve immediately.

Notes

Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes really helps the flour hydrate and yields fluffier pancakes. These freeze beautifully, so consider doubling the batch for busy mornings.
