Gluten free fluffy pancakes

Gluten-Free Fluffy Pancakes Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (make sure it contains xanthan gum, or add 1/4 teaspoon)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder (ensure it’s gluten-free)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy alternative like almond or oat milk)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Cooking spray or additional butter for the pan

Instructions:

Step 1: Mix Dry Ingredients

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 2: Mix Wet Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

1. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are fine. The batter should be thick but pourable. If it’s too thick, add a little more milk (1 tablespoon at a time) until you reach the desired consistency.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes

1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or butter.
2. Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 5: Serve

1. Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or butter.

Tips:

• Flour Blend: If your gluten-free flour blend doesn’t contain xanthan gum or guar gum, add 1/4 teaspoon to help with the texture.
• Dairy-Free: Use non-dairy milk and coconut oil in place of butter for a dairy-free option.
• Extra Fluffy: For even fluffier pancakes, separate the egg, beat the egg white until soft peaks form, and fold it into the batter just before cooking.
