- 1
Whisk the brown rice flour, all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine 3/4 cup buttermilk, the egg yolks, and the oil; mix until blended. Add the dry ingredients to the buttermilk mixture and stir just until combined. Do not overmix the batter.
- 2
Beat the egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until soft peaks form.
- 3
Fold the egg whites into the batter. The batter should be about the consistency of tomato soup. If it is too thick, add the remaining buttermilk a little at a time, pausing briefly to let the batter set.
- 4
Gluten-free flours need time to absorb the liquid and will thicken after about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
- 5
Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Drop the batter onto the griddle in 1/4-cup portions. Cook until bubbles form and the tops look slightly dry, 3 to 4 minutes.
- 6
Flip and cook until the other side is browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

Serve hot, or let cool completely before freezing.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
