Meringue Mom

1-1/2 C sorghum flour
1-1/2 C potato starch or cornstarch (I used potato starch)
1 C tapioca flour

Once that was made, I had to make Carol’s Pancake Mix:

2 C Carol’s Flour blend (above)
2 C cornstarch or potato starch (again I used potato starch)
1/2 cane sugar
2Tablespoons baking powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon xanthan gum

Finally I could make the pancakes:

1 C Carol’s Pancake Mix (above)
2 tablespons butter or buttery spread (not light spread(
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 to 1/2 C 1% milk
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
extra butter or oil for fryiing pancakes

All three of us loved these pancakes! My son, who had commented before that the Bob’s Red Mill pancakes were “a bit dense,” gave these pancakes rave reviews. These were light and fluffy and just a bit crunchy at the edges. Simply superb! If we hadn’t known these were gluten-free we would have sworn these were made with wheat flour.

Since these were so very excellent, I’ve decided that Carol’s Flour Blend will become my starting point for all recipes, and I have filled a canister with more of the blend. I think it must be the sorghum flour that made this so terrific.

“You see, not all cornmeal is gluten-free. The dear folks at Bob’s Red Mill make some of the best gluten-free flours in the world, in a dedicated gluten-free facility. But their cornmeal (and their masa harina) is manufactured in the other room, the one with all the gluten. We really need to look at every commercially-processed cornmeal, carefully.”

Put them in the oven stacked in a casserole dish covered in aluminum foil at about 200 degrees!

Thanks…have to be festive with the little ones!

Pancakes sound so good right now (despite my huge dinner of spaghetti and meatballs). Can you explain to me how you keep these warm in the oven (really elementary, I know). So far, my fiance and eat them as we go, standing up, with me managing 2 pans (he likes thicker ones so he gets the smaller pan and I like crepe ones so I think them out over the large pan). Funny, I know! It works when it’s just the two of us, but I’m planning on having guests over, so an oven method would work better. Thanks! By the way, you and Dan are adorable in your Halloween costumes!
