how do you cook the perfect pancake?

When it comes to cooking gluten free pancakes, you have a few great options. A non-stick pan is convenient and easy to use, making it a solid choice for quick breakfasts at home. A cast iron skillet retains heat well and can give your pancakes a slightly crispy edge, adding a bit of texture. However, if you’re cooking for a crowd or want to achieve perfectly even browning, a flat top griddle is the best option. Its large surface allows you to cook multiple pancakes at once while maintaining a consistent temperature for that golden, fluffy result.

Cooking on a flat top griddle in the middle of the woods, though—that’s an experience like no other. There’s something about the fresh air, the crackling campfire, and the simplicity of outdoor cooking that makes pancakes taste even better. The even heat of the griddle ensures a perfect golden-brown crust, while the open-air setting enhances every bite. Whether you’re flipping pancakes at sunrise with a hot cup of coffee or making a big batch for a group, cooking in nature turns a simple breakfast into a memorable tradition.

Customization

One of the best things about gluten free pancakes is how easily you can customize them to suit your taste. Whether you love the burst of fresh blueberries, the richness of chocolate chips, or the crunch of chopped nuts, there are endless ways to make your pancakes unique. You can even swirl in cinnamon, vanilla, or a hint of lemon zest for extra flavour. For a classic touch, top them with maple syrup and butter, or get creative with whipped cream, yogurt, or a drizzle of nut butter. No matter how you mix them up, these pancakes are the perfect canvas for your favourite add-ins and toppings! You can also make sourdough discard pancakes if you have any to use.

Storing

Storing leftover gluten free pancakes is easy and a great way to enjoy them throughout the week. Once they’ve cooled, stack the pancakes and place a piece of parchment paper between each one to prevent sticking. Then, store them in an airtight container or zip-top bag in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them! Simply lay the pancakes in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. When you’re ready to eat, just reheat them in the toaster, microwave, or on the griddle for a quick and delicious breakfast.
