Hi Judy,

The only containers I have found up to the task of keeping BC gluten-free CC cookies (baked crisp) crispy are the relatively expensive hard body, heavy duty food storage containers such as Rubbermade, Mainstays, Sterilite, etc. that have the better constructed lids. These lids fit tight! They either are pretty difficult to put on, or have the locking type snap on lids. You'll know the difference when you see them. And they only come in single units, not 4-5 for $3.

Larry
thanks so much
I have some of the rubbermade ones but didn't put in right away. Maybe that's the secret. They don't last long do they. They are so good

I haven't tried it yet- but they have it in all three Targets near me.

I love websites with product locators- don't you?

Feel Rite is a very good store they carry the Katz gluten free items the Challah and the Rugelech and all their breads which I like, I don’t see the big deal with the Udi's bread it is not as soft as Katz and not as good in taste and its more expensive I guess everybody has a different taste, Wegmans is tough I have called them so many times so did our whole support group team to carry Katz gluten-free and I got very little help
Hopefully soon they will start carrying it,

Katz must be a regional thing. I've never seen it around North Texas. We don't have any Wegman's or Feel Rite either.

I bought it because I think the very best dumplings were always from Bisquick. I made waffles w/ it and wasn't AT ALL impressed. I much prefer Pamela's pancake/waffle mix. I sure hope it makes good dumplings for my beef stew!

[larry mac]

I haven't made waffles, but I have made pancakes several times, and I totally agree. The first time they were very bland. After that I added some flax meal and a little more egg to make them more like Pamela's.

This product has absolutely nothing in common with regular Bisquick. Aside from the flours obviously, regular Bisquick has shortening already in it. The gluten-free kind needs oil added to it. Big difference between shortening and oil.

All you needed to add to regular Bisquick was milk. Now we have to add milk, oil, and egg. They share the same product name, but that's all.

Basically, you're paying for the convenience of not having to mix in zanthan gum.

Mmmmm, just tried the gluten-free Bisquick for the first time. I made the biscuit recipe on the box. It was heaven. Funny I never cared for Bisquick biscuits back in the day when I could eat gluten. But they so hit the spot tonight. I look forward to doing more with it. Beats the hell out of the other gluten-free baking mixes I've tried.

I was really excited to find this at my local Safeway in my teeny little town. It's $5.19 a box which is outrageous for such a small amount, but I think it's pretty good. So far I've only made pancakes but they are yummy. I also made them with some dehydrated blueberries and a teaspoon of superfine sugar added- tasted like a hybrid between a pancake and a blueberry muffin and was really yummy! I want to try the garlic cheddar biscuits from the website, and I have my eye on a waffle press so I can try waffles.

Just as a side note though, there's a brand called Namaste Foods that makes a really yummy pancake mix and there's more in the bag for about the same price and the ingredients are better- has ground vanilla beans in it. So good. They also make really good cake mixes.

It's definitely in Puget Sound - the Safeway in Newcastle has it. You might try calling around if you really want to find it?

Where is Newcastle? I will keep looking but so far no luck in Edmonds, Lynnwood, Bothell, Mill Creek or Woodinville.

Not sure I could really use it though because I can't have eggs.

It doesn't have eggs in it. You have to add eggs. So, if you have an egg substitute, I guess you could use that.

I do, but... I find that it often doesn't work very well.
