Excellent gluten-free Pancake Recipe?

[midnightlullaby]

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.

We LOVE LOVE LOVE Pamela's!!

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.
