Multi Grain Pancakes
Serving Size: 8 pancakes
¾ cup all-purpose gluten-free flour mix
½ cup and 2 tablespoons buckwheat flour
2 tablespoons sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, beaten at room temperature
- In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour mix, buckwheat flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the canola oil, melted butter and buttermilk. Beat the egg into the mixture until fully blended.
- Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently until blended. If the batter seems too thick, add additional buttermilk as needed. Allow the batter to sit while you heat a griddle or large non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
- Using cooking spray, thoroughly coat the pan or griddle to prevent sticking. Ladle in the batter, making the pancakes any size you like. Adjust the heat between medium and medium-low so that the bottom of each cake turns golden brown and the top of each cake begins bubbling slightly (within 2 to 4 minutes). Flip the cakes and cook until the undersides are also golden brown.
