Gluten Free Strawberries and Cream Pancakes

Gluten Free Strawberries and Cream Pancakes lynnskitchenadventures.com

My family loves pancakes. We eat them at least once a week, sometimes more.

We love them for breakfast, but we also enjoy pancakes as a fun breakfast for dinner. These gluten free strawberries and cream pancakes are the perfect for breakfast or dinner during the summer.

Fresh fruit in pancakes makes for a quick and easy meal. And since this uses my basic gluten free baking mix, it is also an easy gluten free meal.

Gluten Free Bubble Pizza

Gluten Free Bubble Pizza 2

This recipe for bubble pizza was adapted from a recipe I made long before I was gluten free. Bubble pizza was a meal my kids used to love and it was one of the few meals that I would actually by canned biscuits for.

When I finally figured out my gluten free baking mix, I knew I needed to figure out how to make it work with bubble pizza. It took some tweaking, but the end result was so worth it. My whole family loved this and I actually think it is better than the version I used to make. This recipe will be on our menu often.

Really, anything with pizza in the name is sure to be kid friendly. Add in lots of meat and cheese and you know you have a winner. If your kids love pizza this is a must try.

Homemade Gluten Free Baking Mix

Gluten Free Baking Mix_

The Gluten Free Baking Mix ebook is based on a basic gluten free mix. I have four versions of the basic mix, all using a different fat. My ebook includes over 50 recipes that I have developed for using this mix and am continuing to develop more.

So stay tuned for more quick and easy and delicious ways to use this basic mix.

All versions of this mix work great in recipes, but I have noticed a slight difference in how the end results turn out.

I have found that I like to keep several versions on hand. You might decide that you like to do the same or you may find a favorite version that you enjoy.

My favorite version is the butter version. I think it is the most versatile in all the recipes. The downside to the butter version is that it needs stored in the refrigerator.

The shortening version works great and I love it, but it is shortening, which is not my favorite fat to use. However, if you are out of butter or need a more shelf stable version, the shortening works great.

The lard version is delicious, and I love it in savory type foods. Since it is lard though it has a little bit of a different taste, so I would avoid it in cookies and desserts.

The coconut oil version is a great dairy free and slightly healthy fat option, however it does change the taste of recipes. The coconut oil version works really well in pancakes, muffins, and breakfast foods.  In other things we could taste the difference, but if you are used to baking with coconut oil, you may not notice the difference as much as my family did.

Homemade Gluten Free Baking Mix

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups rice flour
  • 1 ¼ cups potato starch
  • ¾ cup tapioca flour
  • 3 teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 3 tablespoons baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • ¼ cup sugar
  • 1 cup shortening, butter, lard, or coconut oil

Directions:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor and pulse a few times until mixture is blended together until chunks are small pea sized.
  2. Depending on the size of your food processor you may need to do this in batches.
  3. You can also mix this with a pastry blender or using two forks, just be sure it is blended well.

Note: Store baking mix in an airtight container. If mix is made with butter or lard it should be store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
