>Any suggestions for a prettier pancake?

Pretty would be good..it is a big part of what my son does and does

not eat. So far he hasn't really eaten ANY pancake recipe I've tried

(nor waffles) because of looks. They all get too dark in order to

flip them. He also doesn't want to try the cashew butter bread

(which, btw, I think will work minus honey, oil, AND cinnamon for a

sandwich bread) because all the breads cook dark due to the honey and

nuts...even though previous to this diet, we were using whole wheat

bread for our sandwiches. Go fig.

It always took longer when I made them this way but... I noticed that

my first pancakes were much prettier than the last ones. So I would

do one round then let the pan cool, do another, let the pan cool, etc

My son is also allergic to eggs so I ususally used applesause. They

don't stick together well though. If they started to look really bad,

I would just mix them all up, put them in a bowl and it was warm ceral

(of course it would have to cook more if you used eggs.)

The SCD pancakes are not cooked on high heat like wheat flour pancakes.

You'll need to turn the heat down to about medium. It will take a

while for them to cook. SCD pancakes aren't " fast " . Sorry.

But you can get them to come out looking like regular pancakes. The

banana pancakes, chicken pancakes, sneaky veggie pancakes, midas gold,

mixed nut... you name it.

Just cook them on medium and be patient.

The Scooby Doo waffle maker used to be available through esalton.com.

I'll have to check to make sure they still carry it. But the Mickey

or Pooh waffle makers work too. They are mostly like shaped pancakes

rather than the deep wells of a belgian waffle maker.

They make fun slices of " bread " as well. Several people have asked

about a bread that can be sliced for sandwiches. We've always just

used pancakes for sandwiches.

Banana pancakes or sneaky veggie pancakes used for peanut butter/nut

butter sandwiches.

Mixed nut pancakes for chicken salad.

Chicken pancakes for a veggie sandwich (guacamole spread on the inside).

And other kids like the Scooby bread, making comments like " cool

bread, where did you get it? " .

pancakes over.

I might get this machine...looks like a real help.

I make gorgeous waffles from the pancake recipes and also using peanut butter

instead of

the other nut butter sometimes but I realize for company, waffles are time

consuming.

When I make pancakes for each one:

1/4 cup nut flour or two tablespoons nut butter

1 extra large eg1/4 teaspoon baking SODA

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 tablespoon or less honey

butter for the pan

You can try chilling th batter for a while too before you cook it.
