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.

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.
