Whisk Dry Rice Flour Ingredients

2
Whisk Wet Ingredients & Rest Batter
In another bowl, whisk eggs, milk, melted oil, and vanilla extract. **Pour wet into dry ingredients, whisk until smooth, and let rest 5 minutes** so rice flour hydrates.

Pour Batter on Hot Skillet
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. **Pour ¼ cup batter for each pancake**. Cook 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on top.

Chef Amara’s Kitchen Secrets & Pro Tips
- Chef's Secret 5-Minute Rest: Resting rice flour batter for 5 minutes allows the rice flour to absorb liquids, eliminating any grainy texture!
- Tapioca Starch Addition: Adding 2 tbsp tapioca starch provides necessary structure and elasticity normally provided by gluten.
- Dairy-Free Option: Use almond milk or oat milk and coconut oil for 100% dairy-free pancakes!
1. Spoon and Level Your Flour: Never scoop flour directly from the canister with your measuring cup, which packs excess volume by up to 25%. Fluff the flour with a fork, spoon it into the cup, and level the top with a knife. 2. Season in Measured Layers: Introduce small pinches of salt at different cooking stages rather than dumping seasoning on at the end. This draws out moisture and seasons every ingredient to its core. 3.
