Servings: persons

1
Cook a third of a cup of quinoa according to package instructions.
2
This may include a lot of rinsing!
3
In the winter months, I keep cooked quinoa on hand so I can save myself the time and hassle of the multiple rinses.
4
DONT skip the rinses!
5
I just threw the flour blend (see note below) and buttermilk together, then decided that was stupid and tried to pour out the buttermilk, which was more stupid, and then tried to combine things according to whether they were wet or dry ingredients, before glopping the whole thing together.
6
That was when I added the 1/2 cup of cornmeal, because it looked too soggy.
7
Then I cooked them as I would regular pancakes.
8
Despite my chaotic nature, they turned out fantastically and I packaged up the last three for later feasting.
9
Note: Flour blend is 1 part tapioca flour, 1 part rice flour, and 1 part potato starch or cornmeal.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
