Pancakes and waffles

Something happened lately and everything I cooked, especially my fail-safe pancakes, was gummy and gross. Maybe it was because I was trying to substitute for eggs using flax seed, and baking soda/lemon juice for baking powder since TM and Q don't like the taste of baking powder.

Talking to my brother, I finally got it right! He suggested using yeast, so I did, and I also used an egg, and they were great! I think I'm done substituting. I have the worst time finding egg substitutes.

Here's the recipe I used:
125g flour mix (316g rice flour, 168g starch...I ended up using cornstarch this time)
1T sugar
1 1/2 tsp yeast
3/4C water
1 egg

It's adapted from this recipe. I tried a similar recipe to one from Annalise Roberts's cookbook but TM and Q said it was bitter. Probably because I didn't do what one of my friends did...I didn't add lemon.

I think I'll try adding lemon to it next time anyway, even with yeast.

I've tried cutting out eggs and it doesn't really work if using GF flour, not for me. I'll try it with yeast sometime...see if I can cut out eggs if I use yeast....

WAFFLES
Yes indeed! I love waffles. But TM doesn't. At least, not 'till now! I used a yeast recipe and substituted canola oil for butter, and simply left out the 1/4 tsp baking soda. She's actually asked for these waffles! Oh, hooray! I made them with whipped coconut cream on top of semi-frozen berries, and yum yum yum it was scrumptious. I'll put pictures in the next time I make them :D.

Next Monday (pasta night), I'm going to make my own pasta! How exciting! Thanks, Brian!
