King Arthur Flour Gluten-Free Pancake Mix

As many of you know, King Arthur Flour, which has been around for 200 years, is now offering a gluten-free line of baking products. This is exciting for avid bakers around the globe. King Arthur has been touted for their excellent baking flours due to for its consistent baking performance and lack of chemical additives, high quality baking ingredients, and baking equipment.

I will say that I was very skeptical of their gluten-free pancake mix. Not because I had my doubts about King Arthur, but mainly because not all gluten-free flour mixes are created equal. Many times you will try a new gluten-free mix with great anticipation only to fond that is a complete flop. Flops in the gluten-free baking community are not rare, but are very expensive. So when you happen upon a great gluten-free mix, you hang on to it. I believe that this will be one such gluten-free mix. The mix is easy to prepare, with only three additional ingredients required, and no whipping of any ingredients. The batter if allowed to rest for a while (10 to 20 minutes) thickens up on its own and produces light, fluffy pancakes with the exact same texture of non-gluten-free pancakes. They smell and taste just like the ones that we may remember prior to diagnosis. I was quite pleased with the performance of this new gluten-free pancake mix; they puffed up properly, but were not too dense, and they flipped easily.  No oohey-gooey sticky mess.  Not to mention, that they browned quite nicely as well. There was no gritty texture, and no funky after taste.

While the box says it only yields 16 - 4 inch pancakes. I found that it yielded far more than that. My suggestion to consumers is to only make half of the box, split the recipe in two; thereby yielding a smaller batch, saving additional gluten-free pancake mix for another day, and cutting the expense in half. My only suggestion to King Arthur Flour is that they make their gluten-free pancake mix in a package that allowed for multiple uses.

King Arthur also has a wide assortment of other gluten-free baking ingredients to assist you in all of your gluten-free baking needs. Check here for a complete listing. Their passion is sharing the joy of baking and inspiring bakers worldwide.
