Pancakes

Boy did I miss pizza, breads, cookies, muffins, and everything else made with wheat flour when I finally identified that wheat was what was making me sick.  I completely cut it out of my diet, which is not so easy.  Do you read the labels on the food products you buy?  Did you know wheat is used in making salad dressing, soy sauce, and ketchup?  Sheesh!  After LOTS of experiments (and plenty of not-so-delicious recipes) we finally came up with Gillian’s World Famous Baking Mix. Here’s the FIRST recipe I made with it, and it sure did make me happy:

• 2 cups of GWF Baking Mix (sweet, salty)
• 2 eggs (sweet)
• 1 cup milk, buttermilk, cream, soymilk, (you get the idea) (sweet)
• I cup yogurt or kefir (sour, sweet)
• 1/4 cup of light oil, or melted butter (4 TBS) (sweet)
• 2 cups of fresh fruit (optional) (sweet)

1. Heat frying pan on medium-low heat (about 3 or 4)
2. Whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, and yogurt.
3. Add baking mix and combine.
4. Ladle cakes onto pan and evenly sprinkle with fruit, if desired.
5. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.  Serve immediately, or plate and keep warm in the oven. Makes about 12.

This recipe also makes DELICIOUS waffles!

As you can see this is sweet, sweet, sweet, so add flavors with fruit like blueberries (sweet/sour), strawberries (sweet/sour), blackberries (sweet/bitter), and tea or coffee (bitter).

*This baking mix is different from all the others in that it is a high protein mix, with absolutely noooooo sugar, to include the sugar you’d get from rice and potato flours.  You can learn more about and order GWF Baking Mix from the Heavenly Bodies Clinic website!
