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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Since 2015 we've spent extensive time in Italy and I've been able to eat their wheat products without incident. Initially, I was practically starving thinking foods in Sicily were not gluten-free.  An Italian friend who had lived in the US for over 20 years said she had celiac/gluten-free friends from the US who could eat Italian wheat products without problems. Hesitantly, I tried little by little without issues.  A few years later at a market, I asked a bread vendor if they had gluten-free loaves. Turns out she had lived in LA, said groups believe it's not the gluten that's causing our bodies harm, but potassium bromate; these groups have been trying to ban it.  Bromines and other halogens wreaks havoc to our endocrine system and, more specifically, our thyroids and immune systems. When bromines are ingested/absorbed into the body, it displaces iodine causing other health issues. Potassium bromate is a powerful oxidizing agent (dough 'conditioner') that chemically changes flour to enhance elasticity, bleaches the dough, and ages the flour much faster than open air.   Shortly thereafter while visiting friends in California, one family said they had gone gluten-free and the difference was incredible. The reason they choose this path was due them (a biologist/chemist/agriculturist scientist) having to write a portion of a paper about a certain product for the company he worked. Another company's scientist was directed to write the other portion. All was confidential, they weren't allowed to know the other company/employee.  After the research, they learned gluten was being removed from wheat, sent elsewhere, returned in large congealed blocks resembling tofu, and then added to wheat products. Potassium bromate has been banned for use in Europe, China, and other countries, but not in the US. Then we have the issues of shelf preservatives and stabilizers. What are we eating?  Why? We spend long periods of time in Italy and all has been good.  We just returned from an extended time in Greece;  no issues there either.  There is a man there we learned about on a travel show about Greece who walks the hills, picking herbs, pods, etc.  He is a very learned scholar, taught at the university level in Melbourne. It took a few days to locate him, but were finally successful. He too, is concerned about the additives and preservatives in American food (many of his customers are Americans, haven't been in the best of health, and have become healthier after visiting him). He suggested taking a food product from the US and the same product in Europe, and compare the different ingredients. Then ask why these things are being allowed in the US by the 'watch dog' of our foods and drugs. It would be amuzing if it weren't tragic. I'm presently looking for flour from Europe that I can make my own bread and pasta as the gluten-free bread is now $7.99 a (small) loaf.  BTW, studies are showing that many gluten-free individuals are becoming diabetic. My guess is because the gluten-free products are high in carbs. This is only my experience and opinion garnished by my personal research.  I hope it helps.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

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

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
