Apparently some baking powders are gluten-free. This is from dummies.com: "This product [baking powder] often contains an ingredient that helps absorb moisture so the baking powder doesn’t clump. Some brands use wheat starch as that ingredient. Gluten-free baking powders include Rumford, Clabber Girl, Featherweight, and Bakewell Cream."
I made this tonight and it was delicious. We are meat free and doing dairy free for my son so we substituted coconut oil for the fat and used coconut milk with some lime juice for the buttermilk. Super moist and yummy.
Cook 12-15 minutes

Be careful if cooking these for people who suffer from celiac disease; baking powder is not gluten free.
