Although gluten-free cooking and baking often tastes as good as using similar substitutes or ingredients that contain gluten, sometimes discovering delicious, gluten-free recipes has proven more difficult than expected. The wide variety of different gluten-free ingredients has made being gluten-free in the 21st century relatively easy if you set your mind to it. BUT, surprisingly, one of the most difficult gluten-free challenges that I have faced are completely homemade gluten-free pancakes.
There are many different gluten-free pancake mixes that make incredible pancakes, but for some reason making gluten-free pancakes from scratch is really hard. The end result often tastes too dry, not fluffy enough, too dense or just tasteless. The other day, I found a recipe on the back of a gluten-free all-purpose flour and decided to try it out. They were soooooo good! If I was given a plate of regular pancakes and a plate of these gluten-free ones, I probably wouldn’t be able to tell which is which. They were moist, fluffy and flavorful. My mom and I didn’t even need syrup! I hope they come out as delicious for you as they did for me!
