Very versatile stuff! Mar 07, 2010
My new perfect-world 'wish list item' is a 'collection' that has one of each of the bag-style mixes that Pamela makes. I mean geez buying a whole collection of any given thing just to try it out is pretty expensive! But this bake mix rocks.
I didn't use to think I had any dietary issues. When I was 35 I suddenly developed 'severe asthma' but had never had it before. But when I accidentally dropped gluten from my diet (eating mostly meats/eggs/veggies for 3 weeks) I discovered that my "severe asthma," and a decent chunk of my allergies, acne, acid reflux, brain fog, etc. were apparently due to gluten. Ironically grain-based foods have been the primary foods my entire life, sigh.
Giving up everything remotely bread-like really sucked. I did it for the sake of keeping my sugar intake low (carbs are either fiber or sugar--so a bagel tends to have more sugar to the body than a candy bar) but once in awhile I would just leap off the wagon and eat something baked. The problem was, it wasn't just that I'd be increasing my sugar/carb intake, which I can live with now and then, but I'd be getting gluten too, and would discover by nightfall when it became inconvenient to breathe that my 'severe asthma' was back. (Why more people with asthmatic kids don't at least *try* serious food eliminations is beyond me...) My boyfriend's docs after much testing tried to diagnose him with Crohns and IBS, insisting he is not celiac [like his sister] and should just keep eating those healthy (...) whole grains. But it turns out when he avoids gluten for awhile, he isn't sick and in pain, he's just fine, as an amazing coincidence. So in the process of experimenting, we've discovered Pamela's brand. It is a dream come true.
Pancakes. Waffles. Cookies. Cakes. Breaded fried chicken. We don't use it very often (as we're mostly lowcarb) but when we do, my 13 year old gives it two thumbs up... There is nothing we've tried to make with this, pretty much using it like flour for the most part, that has not come out good. I am hugely grateful for Pamela's brand making gluten-free eating just as tasty as mainstream food. Since I unfortunately am only 'inconvenienced' by gluten (as opposed to genuine *pain*) I'm the type that would occasionally eat it anyway just because I so missed a lifetime food that was based on grains. Thanks to Pamela's, now I can have those foods once in awhile without damaging my body in the process. Yay! I can't wait to try some of the other options!
 Pamela's Baking Mix if Fantastic Feb 17, 2010
Being on a gluten free diet I find this mix very versatile. I love to make pancakes and muffins with the recipes on the bag and use it as a swap out for regular flour when making gravy. My tummy thanks you, Pamela!
Possibilities are endless Jan 11, 2010
This is the best mix we have ever used - I have been Gluten Free for over 6 years and for the most part my family has been eating that way as well to be supportive of me! We ALL LOVE this mix! We use it for Pancakes but that is only the beginning. We have breaded chix tenders and fried them, breaded okra and fried it, I have used it to make blondies, pie crust, casseroles, the "Red Lobster" roll recipe, quickie peach pie, funnel cakes and can be substituted for anything that calls for Bisquick - Truly I believe the possibilities are endless. I have tried ALOT of other Gluten Free Mixes and the results just haven't been the same. I am always on the lookout for a new recipe I can try Pamela's with and that keeps our menu's interesting!! For any one who has Celiac or a gluten intolerance I would highly recommed this become a staple in your cabinet - You will not regret getting a case of 6 either b/c you will be surprised all the things you find to use it in! Happy Gluten Free Cooking!!
mix for delicious gluten-free pancakes Nov 02, 2009
One tradition in my family has always been my husband's Sunday morning pancakes. When he was diagnosed with celiac disease and had to eliminate wheat gluten, we were dismayed. However, the pancakes my husband now makes using Pamela's Ultimate Baking and Pancake mix are MUCH BETTER than the ones he used to make with Aunt Jemima's Buttermilk Pancake mix. In contrast to other gluten-free pancake mixes, which are mainly rice flour, Pamela's has a high percentage of almond flour and has a delicious flavor. We especially like to mash a ripe banana with the pancake batter to make almond-banana pancakes.
pamela's is the best Oct 11, 2009
I use it for many thing and have made all recipes off the back and are great also.
