Gluten-Free Halal Pancakes with Maple Syrup
Preparation Instructions:
Now
that we have the ingredients ready, let’s start cooking!
Step 1: Combine dry ingredients In a large mixing bowl,
sift together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking
soda, and salt. This ensures that all the dry ingredients are blended well for
the base of the pancakes to come out well.
Step 2: Combine Liquid Ingredients In a different bowl,
add buttermilk, eggs, melted butter or coconut oil, and vanilla extract and mix
until combined. All components should be combined well in order to obtain a
compliment batter fill.
Step 3: Merger of Wet and Dry Ingredients Step Combine the
wet ingredients in a measuring cup and add them to the mixture in a slow,
steady stream. Fold the batter together until combined. Fold in remaining dry
ingredients, being careful not to stir too many times, or you could end up with
stiff cakes. This batter should be slightly more lumpy than thick, which is
also okay as it is the ideal case for making light pancakes.
Step 4: Heat the Pan Prepare to cook by heating a
non-stick skillet or griddle at medium flame. Pour a little bit of butter or
oil to the surface. If you want to do it healthier, use a cooking spray
instead.
Step 5: Cook the pancakes When the skillet gets hot, pour
¼ cup of the batter for each pancake on the skillet. The batter you’ll see will
spread a little bit. Let the pancakes cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side or
when bubbles appear on the surface and the sides of the pancake look set. When
it is ready, flip to the other side and finish cooking for a further 2 minutes
or until golden in color.
Step 6: Serve with Maple Syrup Finally, pour maple syrup
over the pancakes and place the pancakes in a stack on a plate. Fresh berries
or whipped cream can also be added if you wish to pamper yourself or someone
else.

Kitchen Top Delicacies Hints and Recommendations:
- Examine
Your Flour:
Not every type of gluten-free flour will be the same. Be sure to use a
gluten-free all-purpose flour mixture that contains xanthan gum or add
xanthan gum separately to achieve the best results.
- Maintain
the Warmth of the Pancakes: If you are preparing a big batch of which it
is not possible to make all the pancakes at once, place the already made
pancakes in an oven set at 200°F (95°C) in order to keep them warm until
the cooking of the remaining pancakes is done.
- Limit
the Mixing:
If you want to achieve the fluffiest pancakes ever, make sure you don’t
mix your batter too much. A few bumps are okay and will help create a
light and fluffy texture.
