Gluten-free pancakes can be easy and delicious with this Gluten-Free Buttermilk Pancake Recipe.
Saturday morning pancakes are a tradition at our house. I have been making pancakes for breakfast almost every Saturday for close to twenty-five years. It is a tradition that we love.
Years ago, long before I went gluten-free, my favorite pancake recipe came from an old Martha Stewart cookbook called Favorite Comfort Foods.
The recipe is a fairly classic buttermilk pancake recipe, but it does call for more buttermilk than many recipes do.
Since it is a favorite pancake recipe it was one of the first recipes that I worked to get right when I went gluten-free.
In fact, I have made several gluten-free versions of this recipe. It is the recipe I used for my homemade gluten-free pancake mix recipe. The one I am sharing today is the easiest to make with fairly basic gluten-free ingredients.
Can I use a gluten free blend for making pancakes?
Technically you can use a gluten-free blend for making pancakes, including this recipe, but for the best results use individual flours. Not all gluten-free blends are the same. The ingredients vary and can produce totally different results in a recipe.
I have found that the taste and texture of most gluten-free pancakes are better without any gums in them. Most gluten-free flour blends contain gums and those gums change the pancake.
When you use individual gluten-free flours you can control the ratio of the flours and you can leave out the gums.
You can find more of my thoughts on gluten-free flour blends in my post about using gluten-free flour blends in place of regular flour.
Can I use this batter to make other recipes?
Yes, this gluten-free buttermilk pancake recipe works well for my gluten-free pancake muffins and my gluten-free sheet pan pancakes.
Can I freeze gluten-free pancakes?
Yes, gluten-free pancakes freeze well and are easy to reheat. Cook, let cool completely and freeze.
