It’s an OK biscuit but lacks flakiness
BachelorontheCheap.com
My favorite meal of the day is breakfast and my preference is some kind of meat, egg, and cheese on bread, which can be a biscuit, a tortilla, a croissant roll, heck a hamburger or hot dog bun is fine too.
But going gluten-free back in May kind of put restrictions on that breakfast preference. Gluten-free bread straight out of the package kind of sucks. Toasting GF bread is OK, but it’s still not as good as a regular wheat product. Gluten-free tortillas just aren’t as good as the real deal, no matter the preparation. I like cheese wraps and eat them often, especially in keeping the carb count in check, but they don’t satisfy a craving for bread.
So today, I sampled Live G Free Gluten Free Pancake & Baking Mix.
Prepared per the box instructions
I prepared the biscuits per the box instructions, baking them for about 14 minutes. I didn’t doctor them up at all for this sampling. Although baked through, they turned out a bit blonde, not lightly browned on top like in the package photo. A brushing of garlic butter on the top would have fixed that, but I didn’t do so, as part of the “as is” review. I made bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits, in line with my preferred breakfast, and while the biscuits tasted OK, they lack the flakiness of a traditional wheat eat. To sum up, adequate, but not “YUM!”
Costing me about $2.50, I’m giving Live G Free Gluten Free Pancake & Baking Mix 3 out of 5 Bachelor on the Cheap Stars. Like other gluten-free bread, this is a much more dense product than its traditional wheat counterpart. I’m not a pancake kind of guy, but I will try that next, but after sampling the biscuits, I have to say this is a borderline repeat buy. The biscuits are OK, but don’t measure up to a good, real deal biscuit. My guess is the pancakes will share the same traits.
