Josie’s Best The Pancake<\/a> is my favorite Gluten Free pancake mix. It has great flavor and texture. However, you can replace this with a non-Glute Free pancake mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can replace the pecans in this recipe with walnuts or your favorite nuts. In addition they can be left out completely for those with any nut allergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The bacon for this recipe can be cooked ahead of time making this breakfast even faster to create. Cooked bacon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. But it’s bacon; make extra because it will be eaten!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Top Tip for Gluten Free Pancakes with Bacon and Pecans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Pancakes are all about that texture of a lightly crisp crust and soft and tender interior. To ensure your pancakes have the best texture, make sure you never over mix your batter. If you allow it to rest for a few minutes, this will also help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to not over mixing the pancake batter, always make sure your griddle or skillet is fully heated. This will immediately cause the batter to puff and start cooking. A griddle that isn’t hot enough with give you thin, tough pancakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Make the Perfect Pancakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There is nothing like sinking your fork into a mile high stack of pillowy pancakes. Perfectly crisp on the outside and airy inside, they\u2019re a food group unto themselves. Whether you\u2019re making homemade pancakes from scratch or using your favorite Gluten Free mix, here are some top tips to make the best pancakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Don\u2019t Overmix the batter! – <\/strong>It\u2019s better to have a few lumps in your batter than it is to over mix. Overmixing your batter will create a tough and chewy pancake instead of a tender and airy bite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Let your batter rest. – <\/strong>After mixing up your pancake batter, allow it to rest for at least ten minutes. This will let it relax, giving you that tender bite.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Make sure your pan is fully heated – <\/strong>A hot pan or griddle equals happy pancakes. Make sure your griddle or skillet is fully heated. This will give you that golden brown exterior and prevent the pancakes from spreading out and being too thin as the heat helps cause them to puff. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Don\u2019t scorch your pancakes! – <\/strong>You want a hot pan to cause that puff, but you don\u2019t want your pan or griddle so hot that the exterior of your pancakes burn before the interior has a chance to cook. Maple syrup makes everything better, but not burnt pancakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Grease your griddle or skillet. – <\/strong>Make sure that you use either melted Dairy Free butter or nonstick spray on your pan or griddle before adding your batter. Even if you\u2019re using a nonstick pan, this helps the to easily release.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Measure your batter. – <\/strong>Use a ladle or squirt bottle to easily and evenly distribute your batter. Cooking consistent sized pancakes at the same time makes it easier to manage.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Don\u2019t overcrowd your pan or griddle. – <\/strong>It\u2019s better to make your pancakes in batches than it is to try and make too many at one time. Not only does the batter drop the temperature of the hot surface, but you also risk them running together. Plus, they\u2019re easier to flip when they\u2019re more spread out. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Flip Once – <\/strong>Be careful of over flipping your pancakes. The first side may cook a little longer than the second side and that\u2019s okay. How do you know when to flip your pancakes? Watch for bubbles. You will see bubbles begin to form both on the outside edges of the pancakes and also in the middle. Gently ease your spatula under the cake, and then flip with confidence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
The first pancake is never perfect. – <\/strong>If your first pancake isn\u2019t Instagram worthy, this isn\u2019t a big deal! Crepes and pancakes have an unwritten rule, the first one might look a little wonky. This is a great way to gauge the heat of your pan or griddle, if you have enough grease, and how long to let your pancakes cook.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>
