Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free flour blend
- 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- Maple syrup for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour blend, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Whisk dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- Pour milk into the dry ingredient mixture, stirring gently until a smooth batter forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (8-12 hours) to allow yeast fermentation and flavor development.
- Remove batter from refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking to allow it to come to room temperature. Gently stir the batter to redistribute any settled ingredients.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake. Cook until small bubbles form on the surface and edges look dry, about 2-3 minutes.
- Carefully flip the pancake and cook the opposite side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- While pancakes are cooking, prepare strawberry topping by slicing fresh strawberries into thin pieces.
- Plate pancakes and top with fresh sliced strawberries. Drizzle maple syrup over the pancakes just before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy the light, slightly tangy flavor of these overnight fermented gluten-free pancakes.
Tips
- Always use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend to ensure the best texture and taste.
- Don't rush the fermentation process - the overnight rest is crucial for developing complex flavors and improving digestibility.
- Make sure your skillet is at the right temperature: medium-low heat prevents burning and ensures even cooking.
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned griddle to prevent sticking, especially with gluten-free batters.
- Allow the batter to come to room temperature before cooking for more consistent pancake results.
- Flip pancakes only once to maintain their delicate structure and prevent toughness.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of vanilla extract or cinnamon to the batter.
- Fresh, ripe strawberries make all the difference in the topping - choose bright, fragrant berries for the best results.
