Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 cup corn flour
- 1 cup almond milk or coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Oil for cooking
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature. Measure out the corn flour, almond milk (or coconut milk), baking powder, maple syrup, and salt into a medium mixing bowl.
- Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be similar to traditional pancake batter - not too thick and not too runny.
- Let the batter rest for 2-3 minutes to allow the corn flour and baking powder to activate, which will help create a lighter texture.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly coat the surface with cooking oil, using just enough to prevent sticking.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the heated surface. Allow each pancake to cook until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to look dry, approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer cooked pancakes to a warm plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm while cooking the remaining batter.
- Serve hot with additional maple syrup, fresh berries, or your favorite gluten-free and dairy-free toppings.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother batter and ensures even cooking.
- Rest the Batter: Allow the batter to rest for 2-3 minutes after mixing. This step is crucial for activating the corn flour and baking powder, resulting in lighter, fluffier pancakes.
- Preheat Your Skillet: Ensure your skillet is hot enough before pouring in the batter. A medium heat is ideal; too hot can burn the pancakes, while too cool can result in soggy ones.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the ingredients, whisk just until smooth. Overmixing can lead to dense pancakes, so a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Use a Non-Stick Surface: For the best results, use a non-stick skillet or griddle and lightly oil it before cooking. This prevents sticking and allows for easy flipping.
- Keep Them Warm: As you cook the pancakes, transfer them to a warm plate and cover with a kitchen towel. This keeps them warm and ready to serve without getting cold.
- Toppings Galore: Get creative with your toppings! Fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a drizzle of maple syrup can elevate your pancakes to the next level.
