Fluffy Pancakes & Waffles
Light and golden, these pancakes and waffles rise tender and fluffy on the griddle. A simple, versatile batter designed for everything from slow weekend breakfasts to everyday mornings.
FORAGE BAKER'S NOTES
Flour Matters. Gluten-free flours—and even traditional wheat flours—can vary widely in weight per cup, which is why we recommend using a kitchen scale whenever possible.
If measuring by volume, gently scoop Heritage Baker's Flour into a measuring cup and level with a knife. This yields approximately 125g per cup. Packing the cup can result in excess flour and a denser pancake or waffle, while spooning may under-measure.
WORKING THE BATTER
This batter is intentionally flexible. For thicker pancakes or waffles, use slightly less liquid. For thinner pancakes, add a splash more. Allowing the batter to rest briefly before cooking gives the flour time to hydrate and produces a lighter, fluffier texture. Dairy milk, cream, nut milks, or even water may be used depending on preference. Optional additions such as vanilla, cinnamon, citrus zest, blueberries, chocolate chips, or melted butter can be folded into the batter just before cooking.

INSTRUCTIONS
