Fluffiest-ever Gluten Free Pancakes
In a large bowl combine dry ingredients:
1 cup Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour
1 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ tablespoon baking powder
Stir together dry ingredients
Add:
2 large eggs
Mix eggs into dry ingredients
You may be tempted to pull out your whisk at this point
A whisk works with most pancake recipes but we recommend using a fork to blend ingredients in this gluten-free version
Your batter will be dry and crumbly at first
Taking your time here ensures all the lumps get worked out
Blend dry ingredients and eggs…
…to a smooth consistency before adding milk
3/4 - 1 cup milk depending on how thick you like your pancakes
Add a splash of milk at a time
Stir until batter is an even consistency
Slowly adding milk helps with rehydration of gluten free flour
In general, flour blends that do not contain gluten require special techniques to hydrate, otherwise the finished product can end up with a gritty texture
The first splash is most important to be just a little tiny amount. after that, you can add larger splashes
Look!
No lumps :)
2 Tablespoons melted butter, cooled
Stir batter…
…as you add melted butter
Heat skillet on burner set to #2
We used a cast iron skillet with remnants of melted butter added to it
Add batter to preheated skillet:
About 1/3 cup at a time makes a nice size pancake
Flip when bubbles begin to form
Bubbles are forming
Now is the time to flip the pancake
A cooked pancake…
…will be a light golden brown color on the outside
Stack on plate
Top with butter, warm syrup, orange zest and blueberries
Don’t be shy
You know that pure maple syrup is the star of this meal
