Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons (57g) melted butter or vegetable oil (add 2 additional tablespoons (1 ounce) butter or oil to make waffles)
  • 2 cups (454g) milk
  • 1 teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/3 cups (364g) King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup (36g) buttermilk powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum

Instructions

  1. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter or oil, milk, and gluten-free vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the King Arthur Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour, buttermilk powder (if using), granulated sugar, baking powder, table salt, and xanthan gum to ensure even distribution of leavening and binding agents.
  3. Make the batter: Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes or waffles tender.
  4. Prepare for pancakes: To make pancakes, preheat a griddle or non-stick skillet to medium heat (about 350°F). Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
  5. Cook pancakes: Scoop the batter onto the griddle by 1/4-cupfuls. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until the surface loses its shine and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden and cooked through.
  6. Serve pancakes: Serve hot with butter and your choice of syrup or toppings.
  7. Prepare batter for waffles: When making waffles, add 2 extra tablespoons (1 ounce) of melted butter or oil to the batter to help create a crisp exterior.
  8. Cook waffles: Preheat and grease your waffle iron according to its manufacturer’s instructions. Pour the batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden and crisp, following the specific timing for your appliance.

Notes

  • Adding buttermilk powder is optional, but it adds a subtle tang and richness to the batter.
  • For crispier waffles, be sure to add the extra butter or oil as directed.
  • Use a non-stick or lightly greased griddle/skillet to prevent sticking when making pancakes.
  • You can substitute dairy milk with plant-based milk if desired, but this may slightly alter texture.
  • Ensure the waffle iron is fully preheated before cooking for best results.
  • Check pancakes or waffles visually for doneness; cook times may vary slightly depending on equipment.
