Super Fluffy Gluten-Free Pancakes

I love whipping up a batch of super fluffy gluten-free pancakes. These pancakes are not only light and airy, but they’re also simple to make and absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

  • 120g gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 185ml buttermilk (or 170ml milk and 1 tablespoon lemon juice)
  • 60ml milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
  2. Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk, egg, and melted butter.
  3. Combine the Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should not be lumpy.
  4. Cook the Pancakes: Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Pour a ladle of batter onto the frying pan for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Serve your super fluffy gluten-free pancakes with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruits, or whipped cream. Enjoy!

Tips for the Fluffiest Pancakes

  • Don’t Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to tough pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use Buttermilk: Buttermilk helps to create a tender texture and adds a pleasant tang to the pancakes.
  • Make your own buttermilk: If you don’t have buttermilk, don’t panic! Get the same great flavour by combining whole milk with lemon juice.
  • Let the Batter Rest: If you have time, let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes before cooking. This allows the gluten-free flour to absorb the liquid, resulting in fluffier pancakes.

Enjoy!

These super fluffy gluten-free pancakes are perfect for a leisurely weekend breakfast or brunch. They’re so good that you might find yourself making them even on weekdays! To do this you can prep the batter the night before and chill in the fridge. They won’t be quite as fluffy this way, but they’ll still taste great. Enjoy this delicious and healthy start to your day.
