I remember the sense of anticipation I felt when I first discovered this recipe for gluten-free pancakes. It was a rainy afternoon, and I was flipping through an old cookbook that had been passed down to me from my own grandmother. As I turned the pages, a worn piece of paper fell out, covered in handwritten notes and ingredients. Intrigued, I picked it up and read through the recipe.
The recipe called for a few simple ingredients - gluten-free flour, eggs, milk, baking powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt. It seemed easy enough, but what caught my eye was the note at the bottom that read, "These pancakes are perfect for those with gluten sensitivities, but they're so delicious, even those without will love them!"
