Prep time: 10 minutes

Serves 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups sorghum flour
- 1/4 cup buckwheat flour
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup potato starch (not flour) or tapioca starch
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- Wet ingredients:
- 1 cup coconut or almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 cup water
- 2 organic free-range eggs, beaten
- 4 tablespoons organic coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or raw agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon bourbon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
Directions
-
Heat a griddle on medium-high heat. If your griddle requires greasing, do that now.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add in the wet ingredients. Beat well to incorporate. Your batter should be silky and smooth. Not too thick.
-
Test the griddle by shaking a drop of water on it. If it pops and sizzles, your griddle is hot enough.
-
Using a ladle, pour a scoop of pancake batter on to the heated griddle. Repeat for as many pancakes as you can fit at one go.
-
When tiny bubbles have formed in the batter, carefully flip the pancakes with a thin flexible spatula. Cook a minute or two until firm- but don’t over cook. Overcooking pancakes makes them tough.
-
To keep warm- or eat immediately? The truth is- gluten-free pancakes are best eaten straight off the griddle- while hot and tender. If you keep these warm in the oven they may toughen a bit.
-
If the batter thickens as it stands, add a little more liquid to thin it.
-
Serve with vegan butter and warm maple syrup.
