Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of gluten-free flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until all dry ingredients are well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1 cup of almond milk, 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir the wet ingredients until they are fully combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes. This allows the baking powder to activate and helps the pancakes become fluffy.
- While the batter is resting, preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. You can lightly grease the surface with a little vegetable oil if desired.
- Once the skillet is hot, 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 3-4 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm in a covered dish while you cook the remaining batter.
- Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or nut butter.
Tips
- Batter Consistency is Key: Let your batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking. This allows the gluten-free flour to absorb liquid and helps create a more tender pancake.
- Don't Overmix: Stir the batter just until ingredients are combined. Overmixing can lead to tough, dense pancakes.
- Temperature Control: Keep your skillet at medium heat to ensure even cooking and a beautiful golden-brown color.
- Test the First Pancake: The first pancake is always a test run. Use it to gauge the right heat and timing for the perfect pancake.
- Keep Pancakes Warm: Use a covered dish to keep your pancakes warm while cooking the entire batch.
- Get Creative with Toppings: Experiment with fresh fruits, maple syrup, nut butters, or dairy-free whipped cream to make your pancakes extra special.
