Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons neutral oil or butter for cooking
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar.
In another bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy, but do not overmix.
Fold in the grated cheddar cheese until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly coat with oil or butter.
Pour 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 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancakes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the skillet as necessary.
Serve the cheese pancakes warm, with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, honey, or fresh fruit.
