• 1 ½ cups Casalare Pancake/Pikelet mix
• 3 tablespoons castor sugar
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup milk
• ¾ cup water

Add pancake mix, sugar and egg to a bowl and combine. Add 1 cup of milk and stir well, adding water slowly until you get the consistency that you desire.

Can add more milk and less water, if desired.

For pikelets, add less milk/water so the mixture is thicker.

Update on Bread

Thank you to everyone who responded to our article on fresh bread. We are talking with a few bakers to work out who will be able to provide us with great tasting gluten free bread at a reasonable price. We’ll keep you up to date with our progress. In the meantime why not try baking your own bread? We have three excellent bread mixes – Orgran, Basco and Well & Good. You can easily make a loaf of bread for around $3 – $4
