Original Pancakes

    This is the one that started it all. Our original gluten-free pancake recipe has been the hands-down family favorite for breakfast since 1988, and it is still as simple and satisfying as ever: light, fluffy, golden pancakes made in minutes with just a few ingredients and our Baking & Pancake Mix. Stack them high with butter and real maple syrup, or dress them up with chocolate chips or fresh blueberries. So good, no one will guess they are gluten-free.

    Prep Time 5 minutes
    Cook Time 10 minutes
    Total Time 15 minutes
    Serving Size six 4-inch pancakes

    Ingredients

    Shop Gluten-Free Pancake & Baking Mix, 4 lb.

    Directions

    1. Preheat a griddle over medium-low heat (about 350°F) and lightly oil it.
    2. Mix all the ingredients together until there are no lumps. The batter should be pourable but not too thin, so add a little more water or mix as needed to adjust. Do not overmix.
    3. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake.
    4. Cook until bubbles start to form on top and the edges begin to dull, then flip once.
    5. When cooked through, remove and serve immediately with fresh butter and real maple syrup.
    6. For extra-fluffy pancakes, use soda water in place of the water.
    7. To keep it gluten-free: Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix is GFCO-certified gluten-free, so these are light, fluffy pancakes with no gluten. This recipe is also dairy-free, and can be made egg-free with a liquid egg replacer.

    Recipe Tips & Notes

    Variations

    • Chocolate chip: sprinkle mini chocolate chips onto the raw batter after pouring, before you flip. Add a few more on top.
    • Chocolate cinnamon: add mini chocolate chips and cinnamon to the batter, with a little extra on top.
    • Chocolate orange: add mini chocolate chips and orange zest or juice to the batter.
    • Blueberry: add blueberries onto the raw batter after pouring, before you flip. Add a few more on top.

    Make ahead & storage

    • Cook extra pancakes, cool them, wrap in plastic, and freeze for up to 1 month.
    • To reheat, remove the plastic, wrap a stack in a paper towel, and microwave until hot, about 1 minute (15 to 20 seconds for a single pancake).
