Pancakes are a delicious treat that nobody should have to miss out on--here is a recipe that offers a terrific option for those who cannot consume wheat or starch. This gluten-free recipe creates pancakes of comparable taste and texture.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Rice flour
  • Tapioca flour
  • Potato starch
  • Buttermilk powder
  • Sugar substitute
  • Baking powder
  • Baking soda
  • Salt
  • Xanthan Gum
  • Eggs
  • Canola oil
  • Water
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Large skillet
  1. Step 1

    Mix ½ cup plus 1 tbsp. and 2 tsp. rice flour. Add 1 tbsp. and 2 ½ tsp. tapioca flour. Add 3 tbsp. and 1/2 tsp. potato starch. Add 2 tbsp. and 1 1/4 tsp. dry buttermilk powder. Mix all the ingredients together well.

  2. Step 2

    Add 5/8 pack sugar substitute. Please consult your medical doctor or healthcare professional first, to see if they recommend adding a sugar substitute to your diet. Next, add 1 tsp. baking powder.

  3. Step 3

    Add ¼ tsp baking soda, ¼ tsp salt and one tsp xanthan gum. Mix all of the ingredients well. Stir in 1 or 2 eggs, 1 tbsp. canola oil and 1 1 /2 cups water until well blended and a few lumps remain.

  4. Step 4

    Heat in a large, well-oiled skillet on medium heat. When bubbles begin on the surface of the pancake, flip it over over and cook until the bottom is golden. Serve with low-calorie jelly or reduced calorie maple syrup. Enjoy with your personal choice of condiments.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be careful when flipping the pancakes over. This takes skill and practice.
  • Don't burn the pancakes. The moment you see bubbles appearing on the pancake surface it is ready to be flipped over.
  • Use honey if you cannot use maple syrup.
  • Always supervise children in the kitchen.
