- Dry
- 1 ¾ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, measure-for-measure type that contains xanthan gum
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder, check that it's labeled gluten-free
- ½ tsp baking soda

Fluffy Gluten-Free Buttermilk Pancakes
- Whisk the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl.
- Whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla in a second bowl, then stir into the dry ingredients just until smooth.
- Let the batter rest so the gluten-free flours soak up the liquid. This makes the pancakes tender instead of gritty. It will get thick and bubbly.
- Heat a clean nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat and brush with butter. Pour 1/4-cup scoops of batter and gently spread each one to about 4 inches.
- Cook until the edges look dry and a few bubbles appear on top. Gluten-free batter shows fewer bubbles, so peek underneath for golden color.
