Light, airy gluten free pancakes with golden exterior and tender interior that taste better than traditional wheat pancakes using separated egg technique for extra fluffiness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups gluten free all-purpose flour blend (containing xanthan gum)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum (if flour blend doesn’t contain it)
  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil, cooled
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 

  • Additional butter or oil for cooking

Instructions

  • Bring buttermilk and eggs to room temperature 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Separate egg whites from yolks into separate bowls.
  • Whisk gluten free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and xanthan gum in large bowl.
  • Make well in center of dry ingredients.
  • Whisk egg yolks, then add buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla, mixing well.
  • Let wet mixture stand 5 minutes to hydrate flour.
  • Beat egg whites until soft peaks form.
  • Pour wet ingredients into well of dry ingredients and fold gently.
  • Gently fold beaten egg whites into batter maintaining air.
  • Let complete batter rest 10 minutes before cooking.

Notes

  • Room temperature ingredients incorporate better for fluffy texture
  • Separating and beating egg whites creates extra light pancakes
  • Don’t skip resting time – allows flour to hydrate properly
  • Wait for bubbles across surface before flipping for best results
  • Medium heat prevents burning while ensuring thorough cooking
  • Batter will be slightly lumpy – don’t overmix
  • Freeze cooked pancakes for easy weekday breakfast

 

  • Toast frozen pancakes directly without thawing
