Description[]
The light texture of gluten-free flour lends itself particularly well to pancakes. Additionally, pancakes and waffles made with gluten-free flour don't need stabilizers required for many other baked goods. With apples and walnuts folded into the batter, these pancakes make breakfast or brunch a real treat. Serve with butter and warm maple syrup or honey.
