Excellent gluten-free Pancake Recipe?

Hi, we're having a pancake breakfast fund-raiser for an event and would like to offer gluten free pancakes, as many folks we know are gluten intolerant. We'd like to cut down on our costs, ie, we are a non-profit and we'll buy things in bulk (almond flour may be expensive, though we already have some other ingredients already, like xanthan gum). Does anyone know a delicious recipe? I often make my own, but I don't actually know a recipe per se.

Last year, they ended up a tad rubbery and not as delicious as they could be ... in my opinion ... so any help would be appreciated!

Check out Pamela's baking and pancake mix. The price on (a m a z o n . c o m) (think on-line book retailer if it gets flagged and removed) taste great. Left over mix will make great muffins, cookies, and so on. Specialty foods are just going to be pricier but this is definately a great product.

Good luck with the fundraising!

I have to second the suggestion of the previous poster....Pamela's Baking Mix makes the best gluten free pancakes my family has ever had! My kids can't get enough of them! It would probably be the most convenient way to go, too.

The gluten free kitchen cookbook has the best pancakes ever. And she uses only cornstarch and potato starch. Both my daughter and I don't care for pancakes, but after I made these for the rest of the family, we both dreamed about these. They are so stinking good.

We ordered something from amazon and they gave us a mix by accident. I think it was Kinnick (sp?), we were not impressed.

Then I used a recipe from Carol Fenster, again not impressed and not as easy to make as The Gluten Free Kitchen recipe.

I'll post it iff you don't have it. Let me know.

Hi everyone, I'm interested in a recipe, not a mix. I was just wondering if there's any recipes that were especially yummy that anyone here has created or tested.

I like Pamela's too, but we're feeding a lot of people, so that's not an option ... too expensive. I've made some myself, but haven't found anything that's really blown me away, though the tapioca and rice flour mix seem to work well ... just not so sure about my proportions ...

Anyways, thanks again for any help. I appreciate it.

The GIG does a pancake breakfast/fundraiser every summer here and they have multiple varieties of mixes made up for pancakes. Anyone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they are thru donation. I know if you contact Pamela's directly, they may be able to help. I know they donate a bunch of stuff for all of our ROCK meetings. They seem to be very supportive. I wonder if other companies would do the same...??? Unless you need the stuff this weekend...

Getting a donation is a great idea. But if you don't have the time to get the donation, I'll give you my recipe.

Buttermilk Pancakes

1/4 C sugar

2 Tablespoons shortening

2 Tablespoons oil

1 egg

3/4 C cornstarch

3/4 C potato starch

1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 C buttermilk

In a bowl mix sugar and shortening. Add everything else, but the buttermilk. Slowly add buttermilk, make sure to remove all lumps.

I don't use buttermilk, I make my own sour milk. That will make it cheaper to make. Sometimes I need to add a little more milk, but I don't bother making more sour milk I just pour it straight from the jug.

This is very easy to double I could do a triple batch but my kitchen aid is the small one. I have also made this batter the night before and then cooked them in the morning. They do freeze well, but taste WAY better fresh.

the recipe says you will get 15 3 inch pancakes. I think that is about right. Maybe you could make the gluten free pancakes silver dollar pancakes so they don't get confused with the regular pancakes.

As an aside, I've been taking the Bob's Red Mill gluten-free cornbread mix and using it to make pancakes instead of cornbread, it's AMAZING.

1 cup mix

1 cup milk

2 eggs

Very simple! Might still be too expensive for you though, so try that other recipe before the breakfast.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
