  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • pinch salt
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Add 2 ½ cups gluten free flour blend (OR 2 cups AP flour if not gluten free), 2 Tbsp. sugar, 4 tsp. baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. Stir until completely combined.
  • Add 2 eggs, 1 ¼ cups milk, and ¼ cup olive oil in a separate mixing bowl. Stir until completely combined.
  • Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring to combine. Continue until all the wet ingredients are added to the dry ones. Stir just until combined, careful not to over-mix. Batter will be lumpy.
  • Heat a skillet or griddle to medium-low/medium. Melt some butter in the skillet. Add ¼ cup or so of the batter to the pan. The batter will spread a little as it hits the pan. You can make the pancakes one at a time or more if skillet is large enough.
  • Cook the pancake for 3-4 minutes or until it starts to form bubbles. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2-3 minutes or so on the other side. The pancakes should be golden brown.
  • Repeat with the remaining pancake batter.
    Make sure to watch the temperature of the stove top so that the pan does not get too hot. Simply reduce heat if the pancakes begin to burn.
  • To Serve: Finish with your choice of toppings such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruits, yogurt, nuts, or yogurt (optional).
