These gluten-free pancakes are not fluffy, but rather like thick crepes. You can find tapioca flour at most supermarkets next to the flours.
Ingredients
¾ cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 tablespoon canola oil
½ cup tapioca flour
¼ cup cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1⁄8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Whisk together buttermilk, egg and oil in a medium bowl until smooth. Sift together tapioca flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt in a small bowl; stir into buttermilk mixture just until ingredients are moistened (mixture will be slightly lumpy).
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop 1⁄4 cup batter per pancake into skillet and cook until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve with maple syrup and bananas or confectioners’ sugar; or spread with strawberry cream cheese and roll up. Serves 4.

We enjoyed trying a new recipe for wheat-free pancakes. Our own recipe is one passed on by family from several decades ago and, although not gluten-free, it is wheat-free:
OATMEAL GRIDDLE CAKES
1 egg, 2 tbsp molasses, 2 cups buttermilk, 1 cup oatmeal.
Mix and let stand for 5 minutes. Then add:
1 cup rice flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, 3/4 tsp salt.
Mix and bake. Original recipe added shortening or oil, but above works well with Pam spray on the griddle.
