Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour (+ 1 to 2 tablespoons if the batter is too thin)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup milk (any type)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: Put 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ¼ teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Whisk for a few seconds so everything is evenly mixed and there are no big lumps.
- Add the liquids and rest: Pour in 1 cup milk and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract. Whisk gently just until combined. Don’t worry about small lumps — that’s normal and helps make soft pancakes. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Cook the pancakes: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add a few drops of oil and wipe it around with a paper towel. Pour about ¼ cup of batter into the pan. Cook for 1½–2 minutes, until bubbles appear and the edges look set. Flip and cook for about 1 more minute, until golden. If the batter spreads too much, mix in 1–2 tablespoons of gluten-free flour. If it’s too thick, add a splash of milk.
- Keep warm and serve: Lightly oil the pan between batches. Keep cooked pancakes warm on a plate or in a low oven at 120°F (50°C). Serve with fruit, syrup, or your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Resting the batter helps make the pancakes soft and fluffy.
- Adjust the batter thickness by adding a little more flour or milk as needed.
- Use a non-stick pan for best results and to avoid sticking.
- Keep cooked pancakes warm in a low oven until serving.
- Try dairy-free milk for a vegan-friendly option if desired.
