Gluten Free Apple Fritter Pancakes

Submitted by cookinalaskana

"This is one of our family favorites-there's nothing like the flavor of apple fritters to warm a gluten free persons heart! These must be cooked until browned to get the best flavor, you need that crunch and carmelization to really make this recipe.  If you don't have buttermilk on hand, pour 2 Tbsp lemon juice or vinegar into your glass measuring cup and then add your milk of choice until you get 1 3/4 cups.  "

• Ingredients: 13
• Yields: 16 pancakes
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup brown rice flour
• 3⁄4 cup oat flour
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour (optional)
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 egg
• 1 3⁄4 cups buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 apple, thinly chopped about 1/16th inch think in 1/2 inch squares
• 1⁄2 cup crumbled pecans (optional)

directions

1. Set griddle to 325 degrees. .
2. In a medium sized bowl mix the dry ingredients: flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
3. In a smaller bowl mix the wet ingredients: egg, buttermilk, oil and honey (or if using sugar put in with the dry ingredients).
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix well.  It will be a thin batter.
5. Oil the griddle and when oil is heated, pour pancakes onto griddle.  Top with sliced apples and pecans, if using.  With the back of spatula or your hand flatten the apples so they aren't poking out too tall- you want your batter to be able to touch the pan when you flip it, but also to be able to caramelize the apples.  These are crumbly, so don't flip until the bottom is well browned.
6. Flip. Brown the other side then remove to a plate and keep warm. These are delicious with maple syrup and  an extra special treat with whip cream too.
