Ingredients

• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter, for cooking

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then whisk in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; the batter will be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a griddle or large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Lightly coat with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per hotcake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Carefully flip the hotcakes and cook until the other side is golden brown and the hotcake is cooked through, about 2 more minutes.

Step 7

Keep the cooked hotcakes warm in a low oven while repeating with the remaining batter, adding more oil or butter to the pan as needed.

Step 8

Serve with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
