Make Gluten-Free German Pancakes
I have celiac and make German pancakes for me and my family 99% of the time. The taste and texture is just like regular flour.
- Use Cup-4-Cup Brand Gluten Free flour. This is my go-to gluten free cup for cup flour. All my baking comes out the best with it.
- Add 7 eggs instead of 6. Because of the texture of the Gluten-free flour adding one more eggs adds a little more height to the fluffy pancakes.
- Cook in a glass 9x13 pan. When I cook gluten free German pancake batter in a glass 9x13 pan they are much fluffier than a metal or cast iron.
