Pancake Mix

Hi,

Since most of us (me included) avoid all grains, I hesitated posting this. However, I thought it might help someone who's mainly avoiding gluten and common allergens. I still check out labels in the hopes of finding something new. I found a brand called Namaste (pronounced Naa-Maa-Stay) that is Free of Gluten, Wheat, Potato, Soy, Corn Dairy,Casein. They make a pancake mix that contains sweet rice flour, tapioca flour, arrowroot flour, rice milk powder, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt and vanilla. I've tried making a pancake mix from buckwheat, amaranth, etc. but it doesn't turn out. I made this for some members of my family and they said it tasted as good as wheat pancakes they used to have. That tells me alot! This company also makes a pizza crust mix like this--no gluten, common allergens or yeast. I plan to check with the company to see if they offer any other specialty items. Who knows, maybe they offer some grain-free items.

Pamelas also has a wheat free pancake mix


I make wicked pancakes with an egg, rice milk and buckwheat flour!

My boyfriend absolutely loves them too!

They taste the same as I remember pancakes and he reckons they do too!


Hi April,

What's your recipe? I'm interested. Do you use any oil or applesauce?

The recipe is from Erica White's cookbook. She is a UK dietician who has had and specialises in Candida diet/recipes.
I'm at work but off the top of my head I think it is...
125grams Buckwheat flour
300ml Rice Milk
1 Organic Egg
4 tables spoons of water.

We use a tiny bit of organic butter or olive oil in the pan so they don't stick but that is all.

They are very yummy! I have then with lemon juice and Stevia or Xylitol. My boyfriend has his with chocolate sauce now!! :( Hehe!


April,

Thanks for the recipe. I'll try it. I've got all the ingredients on hand. The chocolate sauce sounds yummy. I used to do half and half mixture of buckwheat and powdered cocoa. I forget if I used stevia or xylitol to sweeten the bitter cocoa.

I've never heard of lemon juice on pancakes. Is it good?

I make lemonade with lemon juice and stevia. Yum!

Hi Grace!

No worries! Good luck with it - thinking about it though it depends what pancakes you are used to?! We have European style crepe type pancakes which is all I know really but that's probably not what you have?!
Lemon and sugar is a very traditional european topping for pancakes\crepes, again, all I am used to! My boyfriend got bored of it though and changed to chocolate sauce which I can't have! I prefer lemon and stevia/xylitol anyway though! :)

The recipe was correct although I have put it in cup measurements below:

1 scant cup buckwheat flour
1 organic egg

1 1/3 cups rice milk
4 tablespoons water

:)


Hi April,

Now I see, crepe style...lemon sugar would be perfect. Sometimes when I make crepes, I use orange/stevia.

The pancakes I referred to are thicker and about 3-4" in diameter. Traditionally, we stack them up and pour maple syrup over them. (Yummy, but not allowed on the candida diet.)

The buckwheat crepes sound like a wonderful replacement. BTW, thanks for the conversion :-)
