Do you use a packaged mix or can you use your own recipes

I use my own recipes and also some my daughter has adapted. We have food allergies, so it keeps those possibilities out!

What should I use if I want to mix my "own solution"? Ingredients please? All ideas are welcome! :)

No. You can make up your own recipes. In face, the item comes with recipes you can use.

I would recommend using one of the recipes from the included cook book or use the one from Betty Crocker cook book. But you could use either mix in a pinch though neither will come out as well as using a recipe.

Yes. Just make sure you recipe doesn't have ingredients that timers shouldn't be used with.

I would think you could use a blend, but it's not an option to choose on the cards. It might be interesting to see what everyone guesses when they taste the blend. If you want to stick with the choices that are given, a blend can't be used. But my personal opinion is that it would be fun.

You add your own ingredients, so I'm assuming if you use GF ingredients it would be fine. I don't think it has a special setting for GF.

I do and is one of the reasons I purchased these. I stack them up with balls of foil in the corners to create layers. I saw Alton Brown do it once and I was sold.

You spoon the batter into the mold. You have to bake it several times to get it hard. Or make them thin. I think using your own recipes would be the cheapest way to go. The mixes are pricey, but convienent.

No, you use it basically the same way you would use Bisquick. There are some fabulous recipes on the Pamela's website at www.pamelaproducts.com. Just be sure that you get the recipes for the baking and pancake mix, because there are also recipes for the biscuit and scone mix. Enjoy!

No, you just use your own recipe or a boxed mix. It works great. I also use the paper cupcake liners, which are very convenient.

Certain recipes like biscuits for example call for self rising flour which usually has a leavening agent and salt mixed in. I like to be able to tweak those separately such as adding or decreasing the baking soda or powder depending on the texture I am looking for and the acidity that may already be in a recipe so I keep the regular cake flour on hand.

No they only have a set package of the flavors and don't let you mix your own selections. That would be a great idea to have that ability however.

yes, there was a recipe on the cardboard wrapper. I tried it and it worked out well.

you can use it like flour and make biscuits. I don't know if their recipes in their bag or booklet have any good biscuit recipes but it works very similar to any other bake mix just with changes in the way you cook

Yes indeed, you can put any recipe you want in it. I had alot already saved on my computer (I too keep my recipes electronically). I just copied the recipes and pasted into the recipe reader. You can add your own picture or one from the internet (with the URL). I absolutely love mine. Because it is WiFi, after you add them, you just have the reader update from the internet. You can share your recipes with others or keep them private (you pick the setting after adding the recipe). You make your own cookbooks and can put the recipes into those catagories, so easy. If you daughter gets one I hope she enjoys it as much as I do. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Yes indeed, you can put any recipe you want in it.
