Ingredients
Instructions
-
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined. -
Step 2
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. -
Step 3
Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just incorporated; the batter should remain slightly lumpy. -
Step 4
Add the cold milk and mix until the batter is smooth. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes to thicken. If the batter becomes too thick, stir in more milk, one tablespoon at a time, to reach the desired consistency. -
Step 5
Heat a griddle over medium-low heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. -
Step 6
Pour 1 to 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto the preheated griddle for each pancake. -
Step 7
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear dry, about 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is browned, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. -
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite syrup and fresh fruit.
