GLUTEN-FREE BUTTERMILK CORNMEAL PANCAKES RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Gluten-Free Buttermilk Cornmeal Pancakes Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by flour_arrangements

Number Of Ingredients 18

Makes 8-10 medium/large pancakes
Buttermilk Cornmeal Pancakes
Makes 8-9 Medium/Large Pancakes
3/4 cup white rice flour
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup corn meal
3/4 tsp sea salt
3/4 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
3 TBSP sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1/2-3/4 cup warm water (I recommend 3/4 cups, I made them that way the last time and the batter spread easier on the grittle)
3 TBSP canola oil
2 1/2 TBSP maple syrup
3/4 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Mix all dry ingredients together well in a large bowl, with a fork, then add the wet ingredients; mix well until no longer lumpy--until smooth. Cook on a low/medium flame until bubble form on the top, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the bottoms are slightly golden.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk will give your pancakes a light and fluffy texture. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pancakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before cooking will help the cornmeal absorb the liquid and make the pancakes more tender.
  • Cook the pancakes over medium heat: Cooking the pancakes over medium heat will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Serve the pancakes with your favorite toppings: Butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or nuts are all great options.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk cornmeal pancakes are a delicious and easy breakfast option. They're perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a quick weekday meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of pancakes that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying breakfast, give these buttermilk cornmeal pancakes a try.
