Gluten Free German Pancake

I have a new favorite breakfast! It took me a couple of good attempts to make this recipe work gluten and dairy free but I did it and tastes amazing! Audrey even LOVES it which is awesome because she has this aversion to eggs right now... She's not allergic to them but she just wont eat them scrambled, fried, or omelette style. But hide them in this pancake...and she'll eat 4 slices!

Word to the wise, if you have a large family, you may want to make a couple of batches of this! Audrey (my two year old) and I ate an entire one by ourselves! My poor husband had only the pictures to lick when he came home for lunch. ;) Sorry honey. 

Just like when making the gluten-infested version of this delicate pancake, there's important steps to follow for success when you bake the gluten-free one. Be sure to read all the directions BEFORE beginning. 

Enjoy! 

Gluten Free German Pancake

(Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Can be Dairy Free)
Adapted by jalene from castsugar.blogspot.com

Makes 6-8 slices
Ingredients: 

• 1 & 1/2 Tbsp butter (I used Earth Balance to make it dairy free)
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup milk (I used almond milk to make it dairy free)
• 1/2 cup white rice flour (I grind my own from Calrose rice)
• 1/8 tsp xanthan gum
• 1/8 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp sea salt

Directions: 

1. Get all of your ingredients out and allow them to come to room temperature. (If you have a Blendtec you can skip this step.)
2. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. 
3. Two minutes before baking, place your butter into a 9" pie pan and place it into the oven to melt. 
4. In a Blender combine all the remaining ingredients. If your ingredients are not at room temperature and you have a Blendtec, use the "soup" setting and blend the ingredients together for 1 minute. 
5. Immediately remove the pie pan with the melted butter from the oven and pour in the batter. Quickly return the pan to the oven and bake for 17-20 minutes or until the pancake is poofy and golden brown. 

Serve immediately. You can top with anything from syrup, applesauce, sauted apples, jam, fresh fruit, or lemon juice and powdered sugar. Yum!
