With a good GF flour blend, these pancakes are indistinguishable from regular ones. The trick is not overmixing and letting the batter rest so the starches hydrate properly.
This is the kind of recipe that defines American home cooking at its best — straightforward, satisfying, and built on flavors that everyone loves.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups 1:1 GF flour blend
- 1 cup milk (any kind)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- 1
Whisk GF flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk milk, egg, and melted butter.
- 3
Pour wet into dry and stir until just combined. Let batter rest 5 minutes.
- 4
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Pour 1/4-cup portions.
- 5
Cook until bubbles form and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook 1-2 more minutes until golden.

Tips & Storage
Pro Tips
Do not press down on pancakes after flipping—this squeezes out the air bubbles.
If your GF blend does not contain xanthan gum, add 1/2 teaspoon to the dry ingredients.
Preheat your pan or griddle properly. An evenly heated surface is the difference between golden perfection and uneven cooking.
Room temperature eggs cook more evenly than cold ones. Pull them from the fridge 15 minutes before cooking.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 3 months. Label with the date and recipe name.
Reheating
Pop frozen pancakes in the toaster for the quickest weekday breakfast.
