Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the milk and egg together. Then, whisk in the melted butter and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. This step is crucial for texture and allows the flour to hydrate. The batter will thicken as it sits.
  5. Heat a non-stick griddle or skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot griddle. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface and the edges look set.
  6. Flip the pancakes carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh berries, and a pat of butter.

Notes

Don't skip the rest time! Letting the batter rest for at least 10 minutes is the key to fluffy, non-gritty gluten-free pancakes.
Use a 1-to-1 Flour Blend: For best results, use a gluten-free flour blend specifically designed for baking that includes xanthan gum.
Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Cook pancakes in batches to ensure they cook evenly and are easy to flip.
