Pancakes....

I had the most delicious pancakes of my gluten-free life this a.m. I've tried making pancakes with Pamela's mix and other mixes & recipes but while they were good, they didn't replace those wonderful Bisquick pancakes.

Then, Nini gave me an idea! She told me that she uses Gluten Free Pantry's Quick Mix as a 1:1 substitute in all of the Bisquick recipes (the "Impossible Pies," etc.) I haven't tried those casserole-type dishes yet, but this morning I thought I'd follow her suggestion by substituting GFP Quick Mix for Bisquick in the Bisquick pancake recipe (found online)....OMG!! For those of you who grew up with Sunday morning pancakes and just haven't found "the right pancake" recipe since going gluten-free you have got to try this. I've been gluten free for a year, but one bite of pancake this morning took me back to the dining room breakfast table of my childhood!

Thank you, Nini, for another great tip!!!

I don't see anything magical in the ingredients in their mix--can't we mix up the same ingredients ourselves and not go broke buying pancake mix?

I don't mean to diss Glutenfree Pantry--I just get angry when I see them charging 7 bucks for about 50 cents worth of ingredients. Or is it my local grocery store who is marking it up that high?

it's your local store marking it up that high... I got a bunch of it on sale last month for $2.50 each...

Oh my gosh, as of now all I can think of is PANCAKES...... :huh: I've just gotta make these! Don't have the mix....any idea on flour substitution? I've got several flours.....may just go experiment but it might not be pretty.......

Well, that's certainly better than 7 bucks! I think my local grocery thinks it's doing us a huge favor by offering anything gluten-free at all, but I refuse to let them hold my bank account hostage for something that I can whip together in 2 minutes! :ph34r:

Come to think of it, even $2.50 for a bag of pancake mix that only makes one batch is awfully pricey compared to Bisquick or even compared to the Asian grocery store prices of 69 cents a pound for finely ground rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch. And cornstarch can be bought in bulk at Costco.

Darn it, I'm still mad!

Here's what I use:

gluten-free Pancake/Waffle Mix (BULK)

2 cups brown rice flour

2 cups white rice flour

2 cups potato starch

1 cup tapioca flour

1 cup cornstarch

4 Tablespoons baking powder

8 Tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons salt

4 teaspoons xanthan gum

Mix it all together, and store it in something airtight. For pancakes, mix 2 cups of mix with 1 1/2 cups of milk (buttermilk works nicely, as does a mix of yogurt and milk), 3 eggs, 4 Tablespoons of oil, and a teaspoon of vanilla.

Sometimes I find myself needing to add much more milk, depending on how thick the buttermilk is.

You can use all brown rice flour or all white rice flour, too.

Serve with REAL maple syrup and butter--yum yum yum!!!!

Oh no, it doesn't require the entire mix. Use the GFP "Quick Mix" as a 1:1 substitute for Bisquick. I think I used 1/2 c milk (darifree) 1 egg and 1 cup Quick Mix. This made 4 very large pancakes...plenty for hubby and me.

Sure, you can mix it yourself and do other flour combos. Pancakes can be made a multitude of ways. DH and I were very happy with these that REALLY tasted like "glutenous" Bisquick pancakes.

No recipe/idea is right for everyone. If you have a method you like, stick with it. Certainly, if the above suggestion doesn't fit your style and needs, you're free to not try it.

As I said in my original post, "For those of you who grew up with Sunday morning pancakes and just haven't found 'the right pancake' recipe since going gluten-free you have got to try this."

YUMMMMYYYY!!!! :D

I'm sorry, Jaten, I didn't mean to imply that Nini's idea/recipe wasn't great--just that #1) it is not affordable for me (I have a family of 5, all hungry), and #2) I think there is a way to exactly duplicate the mix far more affordably.

These are the ingredients of the quick mix:

Ingredients:

Brown rice flour, white rice flour, cornstarch, powdered buttermilk, crystallized honey, xanthan gum, baking powder (sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate, mono-calcium phosphate), baking soda, salt.

The bulk of the ingredients is the mix of 3 flours, which, as I said, cost 69 cents a pound. The cheapest I've ever seen it at my local grocery is $5.99, on sale.

OMG......pancake update.......after reading these posts yesterday, I found my unopened bag of Bob's gluten-free Baking Mix......and made my pancakes (adding a smidgen of xantham gum and a bit of vanilla)......holy lord, I was in utter heaven.....they were the MOST delicious little dream-cloud fluffs, cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside (I like mine quite thin, like crepes so added more water). With heated butter and pure maple syrup...... :rolleyes: I ate so many that I felt a bit sick, actually, and lapsed into sort of a... "pancake coma?" :huh:

And then, there was more batter left over, couldn't see wasting it so ate some more later. :huh: And then I felt really quesy during my afternoon Christmas shopping.....but in a good and satisfied pancake-y sort of way. :) Oh, my, they were tasty......and now my pancake urge is satisfied for at least another month or so. But it was SO nice to have something that was even BETTER, actually, than the kind I used to eat (Krusteaz)!!!

Don't have naything to say about pancakes but after hearing nini talk so much about the Gluten Free Pantry Quick Mix I have been on a hunt for it in my area. They don't carry it at the stores here, but they special ordered it for me and I'll get it tomorrow. I am excited to try it, I'm making biscuits with it for Christmas Eve.

I will have to try making pancakes with it too, they sound good!

Nini, Where did you find it for 2.50? It's 4.95 on the GFP web site and our local markets don't carry that particular mix. I live in Illinois across the river from St. Louis.

Where do I find the Gluten Free Pantry's Quick Mix recipe? I am looking for the perfect pancake that tastes like the Bisquick pancake and still can't find one. Already tried Pam's and thought it was doughy on the inside even though the outside was dark.

      @Charlie1946, Sorry I sidetracked your thread a bit. Apologies. Proton pump inhibitors, like Omeprazole, change the pH in our gastrointestinal systems which allows opportunistic microbes to move in and take over. Have you been checked for SIBO?

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      Traditional brown rice vinegars are made by fermenting brown rice and water with koji (Kōji 麹). The gluten risk comes from the method of preparing the koji: rice, wheat or barley may be used. Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods re...

      @Charlie1946,  Sorry I sidetracked your thread a bit.  Apologies. Proton pump inhibitors, like Omeprazole, change the pH in our gastrointestinal systems which allows opportunistic microbes to move in and take over.  Have you been checked for SIBO?  There's a significant link between length of Omeprazole use and SIBO.  I had SIBO, thrush (Candida) and lichen planus and other problems while I was on Omeprazole.  I had to stop taking it.  It was a horrible time, so I understand how painful and frustrating it is.   You change your microbiome (the bacteria and microbes living inside you) by changing what you eat.  They eat what you eat.  Change the menu and you get different customers.   I changed my diet.  I cut out dairy because I was reacting to the casein and lactose.  I cut out all processed foods and most carbohydrates. I ate meat and veggies mostly, some fruit like apples and mandarin oranges.  By cutting out all the excess carbohydrates, lactose, and empty carbs in processed gluten-free foods, the opportunistic microbes get starved out.  SIBO bacteria send chemical messages to our brains demanding more carbs, so be prepared for carb cravings, but don't let the microbiome control you!   The skin and digestive system is continuous.  The health of our outside skin reflects the health of our gastrointestinal system.  Essential B vitamins, like Thiamine B 1 and especially Niacin B 3, are needed to repair intestinal damage and keep bad bacteria in check.  Niacin helps improve not only the intestinal tract, but also the skin.  Sebaceous Hyperplasia is linked to being low in Niacin B 3.  Lichen Planus is treated with Niacinamide, a form of Niacin B 3.   Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make.  We must get them from our food.  If our food isn't digested well (low stomach acid from Omeprazole causes poor digestion), then vitamins aren't released well.  Plus there's a layer of SIBO bacteria absorbing our vitamins first between the food we've eaten and our inflamed and damaged villi that may have difficulty absorbing the vitamins.  So, taking vitamin supplements is a way to boost absorption of essential nutrients that will allow the body to fight off the microbes, repair and heal.   Doctors are taught in medical learning institutions funded by pharmaceutical companies.  The importance of nutrition is downplayed and called old fashioned.  Doctors are taught we have plenty to eat, so no one gets nutritional deficiency diseases anymore.  But we do, as people with Celiac disease, with impaired absorption.  Nutritional needs need to be addressed first with us.  Vitamins cannot be patented because they are natural substances.  But pharmaceutical drugs can be.  There's more money to be made selling pharmaceutical drugs than vitamins.   Makes me wonder how much illness could be prevented if people were screened for Celiac disease much earlier in life, instead of after they've been ill and medicated for years.   Talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.   Interesting Reading: The Duration of Proton Pump Inhibitor Therapy and the Risk of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12250812/#:~:text=The long-term use of,overgrowth dynamics is less clear.

Regardless of the starting grain, "koji" typically will be listed as an ingredient, and that term alone does not indicate gluten status. I called Eden Foods regarding their product "Organic Brown Rice Vinegar" (product of Japan) to ask how their product is made. They gave me a clear answer that they >do< use rice and they >do not< use wheat or barley in preparing their koji. FWIW, the product itself does not contain any labeling about gluten, gluten risk, or gluten safety. Based on Eden's statement, I am going to trust that this product is gluten safe and use it.

      Your post nails the practical reality of living well with a celiac diagnosis. The shift from feeling restricted to discovering a new world of cooking—whether through a supportive partner making gluten-free spanakopita and gravy, or learning to cook for yourself—is exactly how many people find their footing. It turns a medical necessity into a chance to build kitchen skills, eat more whole foods, and actually enjoy the process. Your point that the basics—knife skills, food safety, and experimenting with spices—are all you really need is solid, helpful advice. It’s a good reminder that the diagnosis, while a pain, doesn’t have to stop you from eating well or having fun with food.
