  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed (do not overmix).
  5. Fold in any optional toppings if desired.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  2. Let them cool slightly before removing from the tin.
  3. Serve warm, either plain or topped with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Notes

To store leftover pancake bites, let them cool completely and place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Don't overmix your batter; keep it lumpy for fluffy bites.
