Tips for Gluten-Free Pancakes, Waffles & Donuts

  • Don’t overmix the batter. Stir just until the dry ingredients disappear. A few small lumps are totally fine.
  • Let the batter rest. Five to ten minutes gives gluten-free flour time to hydrate, so pancakes and waffles come out fluffier.
  • Preheat your pan or waffle iron. A fully hot surface gives you golden edges and keeps batter from sticking.
  • Watch your oil temperature. Use a thermometer for fried donuts. Oil that’s too cool makes them greasy, and oil that’s too hot burns the outside before the inside cooks.

FAQs

Why are my gluten-free pancakes gummy?

They’re usually undercooked or the batter was overmixed. Cook them over medium heat instead of high so the centers have time to set before the outside browns, and stir the batter just until combined.

Can I freeze pancakes and waffles?

Yes. Let them cool completely, freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet, then move them to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Reheat in the toaster or oven so they crisp back up.

How do I keep pancakes warm for a crowd?

Set your oven to 200°F and keep cooked pancakes or waffles on a baking sheet in a single layer. Stacking them traps steam and makes them soggy.

Are baked or fried donuts better?

It depends on what you’re after. Baked donuts are tender and cakey and easier to make, while fried donuts are lighter with a crisp outside. I have both, so it really comes down to how much time you have.

Can I make pancake batter ahead of time?

It’s best fresh, since batters made with baking powder lose some of their lift as they sit. To save time in the morning, mix the dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls the night before and combine them right before cooking.
