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.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Hi! I had my first episode of AFib last May when I was 30 (I have had some heart stuff my whole life but nothing this extreme). I was not diagnosed with celiac until the beginning of this month in October of 2025. I was in the early stages of celiac, so I'm not sure if they were related (maybe!) All of my heart tests came back normal except for my electrolytes (potassium and magnesium) that were low when the AFib occurred. I also became pregnant with our third and last baby a couple weeks after I came back from that hospital stay. I had no heart complications after that whole thing. And I still haven't over a year later. It was definitely scary and I hope it doesn't happen again. I drink an electrolyte drink mix about every day, and I'm sure being on a gluten-free diet will help my body even more! I will pray for you in this. Taking care of our bodies is so challenging but Jesus is with us every step of the way. He cares and He sees you!

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet which is really strict for a while, but later other foods can be added back into your diet.  Following the AIP diet strictly allows you digestive system to heal and the inflammation to calm down.  Sort of like feeding a sick baby easy to digest food instead of spicy pizza.   It's important to get the inflammation down because chronic inflammation leads to other health problems.  Histamine is released as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.  High histamine levels make you feel bad and can cause breathing problems (worsening asthma), cardiovascular problems (tachycardia), and other autoimmune diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, diabetes) and even mental health problems. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet allows the body to clear the histamine from our bodies.  Some foods are high in histamine.  Avoiding these makes it easier for our bodies to clear the histamine released after a gluten exposure.   Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system and calm it down.  Vitamin D is frequently low in Celiacs.  The B Complex vitamins and Vitamin C are needed to clear histamine.   Supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals boosts your intestines' ability to absorb them while healing.   Keep in mind that gluten-free facsimile foods, like gluten-free bread, are not enriched with added vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts are.   They are empty calories, no nutritional value, which use up your B vitamins in order to turn the calories into fuel for the body to function.   Talk to your doctor or nutritionist about supplementing while healing.  Take a good B Complex and extra Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine (shown to promote gut health).  Most B Complex vitamins contain thiamine mononitrate which the body cannot utilize.  Meats and liver are good sources of B vitamins.   Dr. Sarah Ballantyne wrote the book, the Paleo Approach.  She's a Celiac herself.  Her book explains a lot.   I'm so glad you're feeling better and finding your balance!

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.
