Rice Flour Pancakes

1 cup rice flour
1 tbs sugar
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 cup rice or soy milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tsp olive oil or vegetable oil
1 cup maple syrup

Directions

Sift the rice flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a bowl. Beat in the rice milk or soy milk until the mixture has a smooth consistency. Add the beaten egg and olive oil or vegetable oil and mix until just blended.

Heat a non-stick griddle to 375 degrees or until it is hot enough that drops of water splashed on the griddle bounce and sizzle. Lightly oil the pan. Ladle the pancake mixture onto the griddle to form 4 inch cakes.

Turn the cakes once the bottom has browned and bubbles appear on the top. Cook the cakes for an additional two minutes. Serve the pancakes with warmed maple syrup.
