Here's a great pancake recipe I use...

StringBender's Homemade Pancakes (from a member at fredtalk.com)

(adapted to be Gluten Free)

These are just as easy as any box mix to make and way better.

1 1/4 Cups ALL Purpose Gluten Free Flour (I used Beths from GF Pantry and they were great. When I used the Bette Hagman's Gourmet All Purpose mix the batter was runnier and stayed that way... I think that Beth's GF Pantry All Purpose mix was much better for this)

2 1/2 tsp Baking Powder2 Tbs Sugar3/4 tsp Salt1 Egg1 Cup Milk1/4 Cup sour cream - I used Daisy brand (also can use yogurt or applesauce)3 Tbs Melted ButterIn a large bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder and sugar while butter is melting. In a seperate bowl beat egg, milk and sour cream. Add butter to the milk mixture and beat again. Add the milk mixture to the flour and stir with a wisk until all lumps are gone.Preheat a 10" skillet to medium low (size doesn't matter and not just because I'm a guy). You can use real butter to grease the pan, Drop two 4" dollups into the pan. Once the surface of the pancake begins to slightly buble, flip and cook for about another minute or so. Repeat until all of your pancakes are cooked. Enjoy. If batter starts to thicken as it stands you can thin with by adding a little milk as needed.

Variations---

Add Chopped hungarian Pepper and Onion and served with cream cheese or sour cream on top

Add Chocolate chips and sprinkle with powder sugar

Add diced apples and sprinkle with Cinnamon and Sugar mixture

I second the motion on hating to make the things that bomb!!!!

I haven't had much luck baking with Bob's flour, however the GF Brownie mix

had pretty good reception (especially when you use them as the base for hot

fudge brownies!!). I've also made pancakes using Bob's Wheat Free Biscut

and Baking mix. The texture was the same to eat, but they do cook up

differently. The best response to them have been the ones I've added fruit

to (I've done blueberries and a mashed bannana batch).

I'm the only one in the house who has to eat GF and I still haven't adjusted

to the texture changes in a lot of food. It's easier for all of us if I use

GF stuff as a base and use things that the kids (and husband) are used too

I've tried to adapt most of my regular recipes to GF by substitution of

certain ingredients. Some have worked better than others!

Our favorite around here is the Chocolate Truffle Brownies from Gluten Free Pantry... is that the one you tried?! My SIL who is not GF begs me to make them all the time, and my fiance and I have a deal... he's a substitute teacher, mostly for high school, but whenever he has to do a whole week at a middle school, I'll make the brownies!! haha We tried Bob's Red Mill and were not impressed. I'm new to the whole Celiac thing, so it still has to taste pretty close to "normal" for me to like it and Bob's was okay... but a distinctly different taste! If it wasn't the "Chocolate Truffle" brownies from GFP, I would give those a shot... they're a HUGE hit around here with GF and NonGF, alike!!!

: ) a

and I'm so willing to pass the "bombing sucks" motion!!!! I made the WORST rice pudding last week!!! ARGH!! haha

Yea!! This is the first dessert I was successful at after going

gluten free and it was such a relief to have something to send with my

girl for birthday parties. I'm so glad he likes it!

At 08:05 PM 10/9/2005, you wrote:

I just made this recipe and

YUM! It is a cakey brownie, not gooey

like we usually prefer, but my picky son has decided this is the

best chocolate cake I've made and wants me to make this recipe into

cupcakes for his school birthday party treat (when other kids bring

in treats, he'll grab one of these from the nurse's freezer. We'd

been having problems finding something he likes.) Thank you for the

recipe!

Btw, I used the new Land O Lakes light butter sticks for the butter.

Worked great and only half the calories. Also, I used Whey Low for

the sugar. It's a natural sugar alternative, a combo of lactose,

fructose and sucrose. (I didn't add any chips. The same picky son

has a thing about stuff within stuff. I hope he outgrows this!

Lol!)

Great recipe!

Are you willing to cook from scratch? I know it's been mentioned, but

try the chocolate cake recipe in the files (with Cari's name). Really.

It's good. I've made it with regular cocoa and with dutch process

cocoa. It makes a moisty, fudge-like brownie-like cake. It's so good,

folks at a party did a double take when they saw me eating it because

they didn't believe I was the one who had brought it--too good to be

GF, or something.

If he doesn't like that, he'll just have to go without or learn to cook

himself so that he can appreciate the work. How old is he? I was able

to do my own baking (while supervised) by age seven or eight. By 12, I

was baking unsupervised.
