These pancakes are good. Really REALLY good! They are gluten free yes.... but they are also soft, light, fluffy and perfectly laced with vanilla. Easy to whip up, you could eat them at any time of the day....... But they are at their best and most special piled high with berries and home-made chocolate sauce and served for Sunday or lazy-day breakfasts. Go on....... finish your week with a real treat!

Weigh and mix together the flours, sugar, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, xanthan gum and salt, making sure any lumps are completely broken down. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla bean paste until light and airy. Add and beat in the flour mix until you have a smooth thick batter. Set aside and leave to stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile place the chocolate and milk into a small glass bowl and gently heat in the microwave (medium setting for 20 second bursts, stirring between each) or place in a small non-stick pan over a low heat, stirring very frequently until fully melted and combined. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Heat a griddle or flat bottomed skillet until medium-hot and very lightly grease the base (I carefully wipe the base with a little vegetable oil on a piece of kitchen roll).
Drop a spoonful of batter onto the pan and gently spread into a pancake shape about 10 cm/4 inches in diameter. When bubbles surface and pop at the top of the pancake, use a spatula to carefully turn it over and cook the other side. Both sides should be golden brown.
Set aside in a pile (place in the oven on low heat to keep warm until ready to eat). Serve with fresh fruit and drizzled fresh chocolate sauce.
