Gluten Free/Dairy Free/Soy Free Pancakes

These pancakes are so good. I found the recipe here. I changed the ingredients to what Katie can eat. So here is my recipe and how I cooked them:

2 1/3 cups Arrowhead Mills All Purpose Baking Mix
2 Tbsp. domino sugar
2. tsp. baking powder, gluten free
2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 to 2 cups Silk Original Coconut Milk (I believe I used the 2 cups)
3 Tbsp. earth balance, soy free (melt)
2 beaten eggs
1/2 tsp. alcohol-free vanilla
2 1/2 tsp. guar gum or xantum gum (I used guar gum)
-------------------------------------------------------
Mix with a wisk and then a wooden spoon. It should be thick not runny.

Heat a non-stick skillet low to medium heat (not to high!)

Melt extra earth balance in skillet (do this for each set of pancakes). Each pancake was an overflowing Tbsp. that you use to eat soup. I fit 4 pancakes in the skillet. Cook like a regular pancake. They should get very fluffy and the outsides a little crisp or should I say a small crunchy texture and golden brown. I topped them with homemade chunky applesauce. Oh, they are too good. ~LOL~

This made more than a dozen.

Merry Christmas!

Only kidding!

We are having a nice snowstorm today. The girls have been out playing for quite a while so I had to go find the snowsuits, etc. They were in sweatshirts. It didn't bother them. The snow is quite heavy; uur neighbors tree looks like it's destroyed by the heaviness.

I'm going to make some more applesauce; I have been making applesauce and apple pie mixture for a few weeks now. Our friend Jimmy has given me a total of about 9 carpenter sized buckets filled with apples.

I have been craving cheesy, potato, corn cowder so that is what I will be making for dinner. It's the perfect day for this. ~smile~

Ed started up the coal stove and it died. I don't know what's wrong with it so we have to wait to use it. Yes, I have the heat on. Yesterday I turned it on when I realized it was only 63 in here and everyone's noses were turning red. ~LOL~

Have a good snowy day, everyone!

My Thrift Store Find

Just a quick note:

Yesterday the girls and I stopped at the thrift store while out shopping. I picked up 'Copywork for Little Girls' 180 lessons for gr. 1-3 and 'Copywork for Little Boys' for a total of .50 cents.

I also bought Introductory Logic and Intermediate Logic workbooks and answer keys for a total of $1.00. ....Tom's so thrilled.... ~LOL~

Oh and I found the Abeka historical fiction novel 'The Talisman' for .38 cents.

Yesterday was a good day.
