Ingredient
  • 1 cup (120g) Gluten-Free All-purpose Flour (with xanthan gum)
  • ½ tbsp Psyllium Husk Powder
  • 1 + 1/2 tbsp Sugar (Adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 1 Cup (240ml) Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar or Lemon Juice (for buttermilk effect)
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 2 tbsp Melted Butter or Oil (plus extra for pan)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Preparation
  1. 1
    Make the Buttermilk Base

    In a small bowl or cup, combine:

    • 1 cup milk
    • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
      Let sit for 10–15 minutes to curdle and form a buttermilk substitute.
  2. 2
    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:

    • 1 cup gluten-free flour
    • 1½ tablespoons sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
  3. 3
    Mix Wet Ingredients

    Once the buttermilk mixture has sat for 10–15 minutes, whisk in:

    • ½ tablespoon psyllium husk powder
    • 1 large egg
    • 2 tablespoons melted butter or oil
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  4. 4
    Combine Wet & Dry

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes— this allows the psyllium to hydrate and the texture to loosen slightly.

  5. 5
    Cook the Pancakes
    • Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease.
    • Pour about ¼ cup batter per pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread if needed — the batter should be spreadable but not runny.
    • Cook for 2–3 minutes, until bubbles form and the edges look set.
    • Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked.
