Gluten Free Pancakes

Since deciding to go gluten free, I have had a hard time finding recipes that didn't require xanthan gum. Tonight, I wanted to make pancakes.


I searched the internet and found a recipe that didn't require xanthan gum! However, the recipe asked for flours that I do NOT have.

Here is how I modified the recipe:


Mix in bowl:
1 cup Sweet White Rice flour
1/2 cup Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
1/4 cup Coconut Flour
1/4 cup corn starch
1 Tablespoon gluten free baking powder
1 Tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt


Mix in second bowl:
1 1/2 cup almond milk
3 eggs
4 Tablespoons vegetable oil

Stir the two mixtures together. Heat a non-stick pan on medium, add butter or margarine.  When pan is hot, pour batter to form pancakes. You can sprinkle with blueberries if you want. Wait until the bubbles that form in the pancake start turning into holes, then flip over.

When the other side is cooked, transfer to a plate and serve with real maple syrup.

I made 1 pancake, tasted it, and made appropriate adjustments to my taste.  I, personally, added some organic gluten free vanilla extract.


They taste close enough to traditional pancakes to make me happy, and Isabelle ate 4 of them (sans syrup)!

p.s.
I forgot to mention how AMAZING the coconut flour smelled. I really want to make something else with it.  Gluten free macaroons maybe?!  hmmm.... hubby would LOVE those!
