How to Make Orange Millet Pancakes Gluten Free

  1. Pulse 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar in a spice grinder or food processor until finely granulated, but not powdered.
  2. In a dry skillet over medium-high heat, toast 1/4 cup of whole millet for about 5 minutes, or until it begins to pop and becomes fragrant.
  3. Set the toasted millet aside.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy), and the zest of 1 orange.
  6. Whisk in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined.
  8. Gently fold in the 1/4 cup of toasted millet.
  9. Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat until very hot.
  10. Lightly rub the pan with safflower oil.
  11. Stir the batter before each pancake, scooping from the bottom to incorporate the millet.
  12. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  13. Repeat until all batter is used.
  14. While the pancakes cook, gently warm 1/4 cup maple syrup and 2 tablespoons orange juice in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
  15. Serve the pancakes drizzled with the warm maple-orange syrup and garnished with an orange slice.
