Buttermilk Pancake Ingredient Highlights

Gluten Free Flour

The base of this recipe is the gluten-free, all-purpose, measure-for-measure flour. I use King Arthur gluten-free, measure-for-measure flour. This blend is easy to obtain, and it gives a great final product. If you do not use the same gluten-free flour blend, be sure to check your ingredient panel on the packaging. If it does not contain xanthan gum, you will want to add some. I suggest adding 1/2 tsp. Xanthan gum for this recipe.

Non-dairy Milk

The non-dairy milk used in this recipe is Califia Farms, Better Half. It is a yummy coconut cream, almond milk blend. This blended non-dairy half & half has a very creamy consistency and just a hint of coconut taste. This recipe will work with any non-dairy milk. However, to maintain the traditional look of a buttermilk pancake, it would be best to use a white non-dairy milk.

When the non-dairy milk is mixed with lemon juice, it creates a form of non-dairy buttermilk. This is what gives the Fluffy Buttermilk Pancakes that unmistakable and delicious tang.

Golden Ground Flax / Egg Replacement

The gluten, dairy, and egg-free Buttermilk Pancakes recipe needs a binder. That being the case, since eggs have been omitted, ground flax and water have been substituted. Flax has the ability to add strength (binding structure) and flexibility to a recipe. Also, the flax I use has a lovely golden color, and after mixing with water, it actually resembles real, beaten eggs.

Because ground flax will keep for several months in your freezer, it is a great choice for use as an egg substitute. Making ground flax eggs is very easy.

For example, for every egg in a recipe, you will mix 1 tablespoon of ground flax with 3 tablespoons of water. Stir with a small whisk. At first, the ground flax and water blend will be very thin. Set it aside. In 3-5 minutes, it will be thicker and ready to add to your recipe.

Now, flax (ground or seeds) isn’t just a binder. It is really somewhat of a super food. Because flax is full of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and fiber, it is good for your heart, digestive health, and weight control. Also, there is some evidence indicating flax could aid in cancer prevention. So, go ahead, add flax where it is appropriate in your diet. It can easily be added to your oatmeal, cookies, brownies, smoothies, etc.

Vegetable Oil

Vegetable oil is used as the fat in this GF, DF, EF recipe. However, you can substitute any mild-flavored oil (like sunflower oil) or melted, dairy-free butter.

Flavoring

Vanilla gives the Buttermilk Pancakes an aromatic and sweet, full-bodied flavor. The recipe calls for 1-2 tablespoons. You can play with this amount, but you won’t be sorry if you add the full 2 tablespoons.
