These gluten free American pancakes are just the most fluffy gluten free pancakes out there! Made with buttermilk and perfect with maple syrup and bacon.
Place a non-stick frying pan on a low heat and add the butter. Heat until melted then turn off the heat.
To a large mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir and then add the milk, buttermilk, egg and melted butter.
Using a whisk, beat the mixture together just enough so that it combines to form a thick batter with no lumps. Leave to rest for a minute.
Heat up the frying pan on a medium heat (add a tiny bit of a butter to grease if needed). Once hot, pour a ladle-full of the batter into the centre of the pan. TOP TIP: Pour the batter from 2-3 inches above the pan as this helps it spread into a more even shape.
Cook for around one minute until bubbles start to form on the top of the pancake. Use a spatula or fish slice to carefully-but-quickly flip the pancake over onto the other side. Cook for another minute.
Once cooked, you can place the pancakes on a tray in a warm oven (around 50'C) to keep warm once you cook them all. They are best eaten fresh from the pan! Top with lashings of maple syrup and bacon, or the desired toppings of your choice.

Notes
Topping Ideas: My favourite American Pancakes topping has to be bacon and maple syrup like I had in New York! But berries, bananas and yoghurt are all delicious too. I also love some Nutella, ice-cream and whipped cream too!
Make Ahead: To save time you can make the batter up to 24 hours in advance and leave it in the fridge before cooking. Whisk well before cooking.
Storing: Any leftover gluten free pancakes can be stored in the fridge and reheated in the microwave. They can also be frozen – see my tips above for doing this.
