Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 optional Vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk the dry ingredients together to ensure they are evenly mixed.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until just liquefied. Set aside to cool slightly.
In another bowl, whisk the egg until frothy, then add the milk and vanilla extract. Mix the wet ingredients until fully combined.
Add the melted butter to the wet ingredients and whisk thoroughly.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and gently stir until everything is just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can cause the pancakes to be dense instead of fluffy.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the gluten-free flour to hydrate. This rest time is crucial for achieving light, fluffy pancakes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or a griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray if necessary.
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set, about 2-3 minutes.
Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side or until golden brown and fluffy.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fruit, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
