Ingredients
My GFGF Pancake Mix (scale to suit your needs)
  • 1 cup Superfine Rice Flour
  • 1 cup Buckwheat Flour
  • 1 cup Potato Starch
  • 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 3 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
GFGF Pancake Batter
  • 1 cup GFGF Pancake Mix
  • 1 cup* soured** Almond Milk or any kind of milk/milk substitute to your liking, it should all work. Some kind of Buttermilk or Buttermilk substitute is best!
  • 2 Tbsp Butter melted, or some kind of Butter substitute if necessary. You can also use Vegetable Oil but buttery things taste better!
  • 1 large Egg or whatever you can use as vegan substitute if that’s your thing (try a pureed 1/2 banana)
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract please, for all the Gods that may or may not have ever existed sake, NEVER use artificial Vanilla Flavoring. I've also used Bourbon or Rum as a substitute.
Instructions
For GFGF Pancake Mix

  1. Mix everything in a large bowl until all dry ingredients are uniformly mixed

  2. Store in dry, airtight container

For GFGF Pancakes

  1. Heat up a skillet over medium heat and coat with butter or non-stick spray.

  2. Mix all ingredients in a large bowl, if it ends up being too thick just add a bit more milk until the GFGF Batter consistency is good.

  3. Use a 1/4 cup scoop to measure out batter and drop onto skillet.

  4. Flip when pancake is starting to cook through, after bubbles form (~2 minutes)

  5. Cook for an additional minute, or until cooked through.

  6. Serve with the topping or syrup of your choice… unless it’s some shit fake Maple Syrup. Life is too short for Bad Alcohol and Fake maple Syrup.
Recipe Notes

* I always seem to need to add a few splashes more. Maybe another 1/8 – 1/4 cup.

**I add 1 Tbsp of something acidic to the cup of non-dairy Milk to mimic a Buttermilk, usually Lemon Juice or Apple Cider Vinegar and give it a little time to curdle. I have also been known to add 2 Tbsps of either Bourbon or Rum instead.

Updated 16 October 2014. Changed the description a bit to reflect the ingredients better, added instructions for making a Dairy Free Buttermilk, replaced the 2 Tbsps of Vegetable Oil with Melted Butter, included some vegan suggestions, and increased the cooking time a little because they always came out a but mushy.
