    Frequently Asked Questions

    What does egg do in pancakes?

    Since these are gluten free pancakes they lack the structure that gluten would provide. Adding an egg to the recipe lets the pancakes rise and get fluffy. Without an egg the pancakes may be dry and the batter more like a biscuit dough.

    Some try adding more oil, but the oil won't help the batter rise while you're cooking the pancakes and you will end up with flat pancakes. You can use ¼ cup of applesauce for each egg omitted but you will also need to add ½ teaspoon of baking powder so your pancakes will rise.

    Why do you use buttermilk in pancakes?

    The acid in buttermilk reacts with the baking soda and will add air bubbles and more fluffiness to your pancakes. Buttermilk pancakes will have a moist and fluffy texture.

    If you don't have buttermilk you can make it by adding one tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to one cup of 2% milk. The lemon or vinegar adds the acid to the milk and will react to the baking soda.

    Pancakes are one of my favorite things to make on the weekends when I have a bit more time for breakfast. I also like to make a double batch of gluten free pancakes and then reheat them through out the week.
