I have played with them myself - adding things like vanilla, varying the milk, etc. and found them to be a little better with some tweaking, but still pretty dense compared to "normal" pancakes. The upside is that I can eat 2-3 of them and be really full as compared to a whole stack of regular pancakes!

--E Arrowhead Mills productsHello to all you great cooks. I recently purchased arrowhead pancake mix and had our first real letdown for our family. Everyone in the family disliked the pancakes. I haven't seen many comments on this brand.. is that because it's really bad or just regional? Thoughts? I am not the best cook so I wasn't sure if it was cook error.

[Guest guest]

The vote here is that it is really bad! My kids are not picky eaters at all and

yet no one liked this. They ate the pancakes w/o complaint, but later let me

know they didn't enjoy them much. I tried them too and my opinion is that they

are course and dense and generally not enjoyable. We tried the muffin recipe

from the package as well and were not pleased with the results.

I've made a few batches of cookies using their Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix

and enjoyed them all. I haven't tried the pancake mix.

Although I have not tried their pancake mix, I have tried some other

things they make. I actually have tried other pancake mixes and

haven't found one that I do like. Anyway, I use their pizza crust

mix and have used their flour/baking mixture, both of which I think

are fine. Good luck with the pancake thing.

I just baked my first gf recipe today and used the Arrowhead Mills gf baking mix. They are the worst cookies I have ever eaten!!!!! Imagine dropping a damp cookie in the sand at the beach, then eating it anyway. I notive my bag of Red Bob baking mix doesn't use the rice flour. Hopefully that will be better!

I think that sometimes it depends on what you use each different

baking mix for. I have found that for some recipes the Sylvan

Border Farms stuff works good and for others the Arrowhead Mills

stuff works well.

I have figured out how to make the arrowhead mills pancakes work for

us when the store is out of Bob's Red Mill pancake mix. I add a

little sugar (about 1Tbs) and extra milk (1/4 c). I will make

extras on a Sunday and keep the left overs for Mondays school

lunches. If you are able to do peanuts they make really good PB &

J sandwiches! My kids are also very picky.

Good luck!

I didn't like either pamela's for pancakes OR gluten free pantry's

baking mix (the one with quinoa- I am thinking of the right one,

right- man, those pancakes were SERIOUSLY flat. DH looked at me like,

are you kidding???!).

I DO like Bette Hagman's buttermilk pancake and waffle mix that you

make yourself, or Fearn's brown rice mix for a " brown " flavored

muffin, or Gluten free pantry cornbread. I also do a lot with

substituting Bette Hagman's gluten free gourmet blend in regular

recipes (even tollhouse cookies, call me crazy). But the happy things

is, although different people's tastes differ, that everyone can find

something they like (eventually).

One thing- someone was saying they tried ENer-g untoasted- first, let

me offer my condolences! and then, recommend either

Ener-g White rice bread TOASTED

or, even better

Whole Foods Bakehouse garlic and sundried tomato bread TOASTED is

Heavenly but expensive

Or

Kinninick TOASTED (although I haven't tried it personally I have

heard great things that i would believe)

Or

best of all

Yeast Bread made from any of Bette hagman's recipes

Or

Gluten Free Pantry homemade sandwich bread (pop in breadmaker and go)

PS could anyone recommend recipes in the bread files for bread

machine? I'd like to hear a rave review before deserting Bette. (I'd

like a change of pace this weekend, i think )

Pancakes were a real problem in our house, especially with Arrowhead mills pancake mix, until I tried Kinniknick's pancake mix. Makes really good pancakes, better than my scratch made wheat ones from before GF and wonderful waffles. Shirley in San Diego P.S I order about 12 packages when I order pancake mix.

Personally, I love Pamela's mix for pancakes, and I cannot tell the difference between Pamelas and any pancake I've had prior to GF. (prior to GF I rarely used white flour, and preferred whole grain anything). It makes excellent muffins too, and now my BF (non-GF) has started buying me the mix so I can make extra muffins for him when I make them for myself! I always use the honey instead of sugar, and add fruit as well.

My Dad loves Pamelas pancakes also. He's the Celiac in the family that misses white bread anything.
