I had my first gluten free baking experience this past weekend. That is if you can consider pancakes baking. I tried Mona's pancake mix and loved it. I fed my whole family the same kind as it was too much trouble to make them their own separate from mine.
I didn't have the buttermilk called for on the package, so I substituted 1 cup whole milk + 1 cup half and half. I dumped the whole mix in the bowl with the liquid and realized it was too thin. I didn't have any more mix to add. So, I took a very large cookie cutter and a round wide mouth ring from a canning jar and placed them on the grill. I poured the pancake batter in the "molds" and I was able to get the pancakes quite thick. My mistake turned out remarkably well. I have only been gluten free for 4 weeks, so I know very well what the "real" stuff tastes like. My 3 year old son took the cookie cutters and cut his round pancakes into smaller shapes. He ate them plain - no butter or syrup. My husband, who doesn't really like pancakes, loved them as well. He has only liked the traditional ones about 50% of the time. Often he has let me know when they didn't taste right (too thin, etc.). This time he gave me two thumbs up. (He does most of the cooking - much better at it than I)
I am the eternal pessimist so I never expected these to turn out very good. I do have some hope for the other mixes (I ordered the sample pack). But, I won't hold my breath. However, I will continue to buy this pancake mix for life!
I have no affiliation with the company. If you are interested, their website is www.madeby mona.com.
