Ingredients

• 1 cup Rice flour
• 0.75 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Oil or melted butter (plus extra for cooking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and oil or melted butter.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with oil or butter.

Step 5

Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Spread gently if needed to even out the shape.

Step 6

Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Step 7

Flip the pancake carefully with a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the pancake from the skillet and repeat with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the skillet between batches if needed.

Step 9

Serve the rice flour pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
