I have tried many different gluten free pancake mixes and have been extremely disappointed with most of them. There is one other brand that I periodically use Pamela's Baking and Pancake Mix but I wouldn't recommend it because I think it's a bit expensive. But don't get me wrong, it is a very good product.
This mix states on the instructions to use milk. I don't use cow's milk ever so I'm not sure how it would turn out. But through trial and error making gluten free pancakes, I have gone back and forth with whether to use water or milk. I have found that using a combination of the two gets the best results. The batter tends to be on the pasty side with too much milk and it makes the pancake mushy. I follow the instructions on the box for the initial amount of milk but I don't use the any oil. I always add a ripe banana to my batter and it takes the place of the oil while adding flavor.
I found with gluten free pancakes, you have to provide a bit of flavor to really enhance it. This mix has a great taste and non gluten intolerant people will enjoy it. I'm just the type that likes enhancing suggested recipes to make it more to my liking.
As you can see, I prefer a little thicker batter. I do this because of the technique that I use in cooking the gluten free pancakes. Place the batter in the hot lightly oiled pan and spread it out - extending the circular shape. I have found when I do this; the pancakes cook more evenly and get that great browning on both sides. Just be careful not to over spread the batter or the pancakes will be unevenly thin.
The end result is delicious and I recommend trying it out. I know I will go back to Target specifically to buy this mix. Enjoy ツ
