Ingredients
Pancake Batter
- 2 to 4 Tablespoons butter or non-dairy butter substitute
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups coconut milk lite or non-dairy milk of choice
- 1 cup (120 grams) gluten free all purpose flour or homemade flour blend with xanthan gum
- 2 Tablespoons raw sugar or sugar substitute
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Melt Butter: Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the butter in a 9×13 inch baking dish or a large cast iron pan, then put the dish in the oven to melt the butter and warm the pan.
- Prepare the Batter: While the pan is heating and butter melting, add the eggs, coconut milk (or non-dairy milk), gluten-free flour, raw sugar, and kosher salt to a high-powered blender. Blend until the batter is completely smooth.
- Combine and Bake: Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven once the butter is melted. Pour the smooth batter into the hot, buttery dish without stirring. Place back in the oven and bake for 35 to 45 minutes. Baking longer will create crispier edges. The batter will puff up while baking and then settle upon removal.
- Serve: Remove from oven and optionally sprinkle with powdered sugar and top with fresh fruit. Serve immediately by cutting into slices using a knife or pizza cutter.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Use a gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum or add xanthan gum separately to ensure proper texture.
- For a dairy-free version, use non-dairy butter substitutes and plant-based milk like coconut milk or almond milk.
- Adjust sugar to taste or use sugar substitutes if desired.
- Do not stir the batter after pouring it into the hot pan to allow it to puff and develop edges properly.
- Ensure the baking dish is hot when adding the batter to achieve the best rise and texture.
- Best served fresh but stored leftovers can be reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
