Traditional buttermilk pancake taste without the gluten; dense and fluffy at the same time. Using whole grain flours not only helps flavor and texture, but increases nutrition. The instructions take into account that some gluten-free flours are thirstier than others. The pancakes freeze well, too. Just pop a frozen pancake in the toaster for a quick breakfast or snack.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups brown rice flour
- 0.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons buckwheat flour
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1.25 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 pinch baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk , divided
- 2 medium eggs , separated
- 2 tablespoons light oil
Instructions
-
1
Whisk together brown rice flour, all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl. Combine 3/4 cup buttermilk, egg yolks, and oil in a separate bowl; mix until combined. Add dry ingredients to buttermilk mixture; stir until just combined. Do not overmix batter.

2
Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until soft peaks form. Fold egg whites into the batter. Batter should have the consistency of tomato soup. If it is too thick, add remaining buttermilk little by little, waiting a bit to allow batter to set. (Gluten-free flours need time to absorb the liquid, thickening after about 45 seconds to 1 minute.)

3
Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Drop batter by 1/4-cupfuls onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form and the tops are a bit dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Serve hot or wait until completely cooled before freezing.

Kidney Bean Salad
This kidney bean salad is a simple and delicious combination of hard-cooked eggs, beans, onion, celery, and sweet pickle relish. A little mayo holds it all together.
Cherry Chicken Salad
After dining at a cafe in Michigan about 10 years ago, I tried duplicating this scrumptious twist on Chicken Salad at home. The cherries can be ordered on-line these days, which makes it much easier for those of us living where cherries are not readily available. Regular milk can be substituted for buttermilk, if necessary.
Dynamite
A Rhode Island exclusive. Kind of like a Sloppy Joe but far superior. Spicy enough to earn it's name, it's best washed down with a good beer. For you non Rhodey people, torpedo rolls are just the long sandwich rolls.
