El Peto Pancake Mix - $6.30

Just tried a fab pancake mix from El Peto.  It is advertised as Gluten Free, Wheat Free and Milk Free!  The 500g box of mix makes two batches of 12 to 14 medium sized pancakes.

To mix you use one cup of mix with two large eggs, 1 1/2 c to 1 2/3 c milk substitute (or milk) and 1/4 c oil.  You only add 3/4 of the liquid mix to the 1 cup of mix and blend well.  Then you add the last 1/2 of the liquid mix until it is well absorbed.  The key next is to let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes  before using.

Well, it works! While out visiting I am the only wheat free eater at the table, and with both the regular wheat pancakes to choose from, my wheat free ones were gone first.  My husband, who  bravely tolerates my wheat free recipes, was the first to say that they were “great”.  They cooked beautifully, the texture was awesome and the taste .  .  . hmmmmm.  “Just like the old days!”

Definitely a 5 star recipe.

BOO!

The packaging looks so inviting.  Happy yellow plastic enveloping a golden loaf of what feels like moist delicious gluten free bread.

However, what you get is a loaf dry gritty slices that looks like bread.  The only thing this ‘bread’ is good for is to make croutons or bread crumbs for chicken coating.  (See the entry Hot off the Plate!)

My rating: 1/10 (it had nice packaging)

Exciting to see a bill board promoting Gluten Free Products outside the local Green Tree Health and Wellness store on Reid Street. I snagged my sugar high “Kinnikinnick” Maple Glazed Donuts and Tapioca Rice Cinnamon Buns! My grandsons loved me . . .

Thanks Marilyn! It is amazing to have someone in retail that listens and cares!
