Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat while you prepare the batter.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and add the unsalted butter. Swirl the skillet to melt and distribute the butter evenly.
Pour the batter into the hot skillet and immediately return it to the oven.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the pancake is puffed and golden brown along the edges.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and allow the pancake to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve immediately with your choice of fresh fruit, syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream.
