Pancakes anyone?

Ok, so I have been trying to follow a mostly gluten free diet.  Many people ask if I have Celiac disease, and no, I don't.  But, I feel SO much better when I DON'T eat wheat/gluten, that I have decided to avoid it as much as possible.  Granted, I do enjoy a slice of "regular" bread or other glutenous product now and again.  However, I have found some pretty good gluten free recipes, the lastest of which is a pancake recipe!  Actually, its not a gluten free recipe, but I changed it and made it gluten free- hope you enjoy these pancakes as much as my husband and I did... yes even Aaron liked them!!! ;) :)

Easy Gluten Free Pancakes (recipe adapted from allrecipes.com)

1/2 C white rice flour
1/4 C brown rice flour
1/4 C buckwheat flour
2 Tbs potato starch
2 Tbs white sugar
2 Tbs baking powder
ground cinnamon and nutmeg to taste
1/4-1/2 tsp vanilla
1 egg, beaten
1 C milk
2 Tbs oil (I use Light Olive Oil)

Mix dry ingredients together with whisk.  Combine milk, beaten egg, oil and vanilla; add to dry mixture.  Stir with fork till combined.  Let sit for a couple minutes (you can add a little more milk if it gets too "foamy").  Pour onto hot griddle/pan to desired pancake size (I usually use a 1/4 C measure).  Enjoy HOT with butter and syrup! :)

Enjoy! :)
