Pancake Mix for Bread?

Submitted by: anonymous 10/08/2009 4:25 PM

Use pancake mix ($1 per box at Dollar general)

Shape a piece of foil into a bread slice mold...use a long piece of foil and fold it over many times for strength...then fold it to look like a slice of bread and tape it.

Cook the bread like pancakes on a griddle with cooking spray...use for sandwiches.

$1/loaf

We use our extra money now to feed children in Kenya, so I have been looking for ways to cut food costs, save money and have an identifying factor plus to save because retirement money only going so far.

It helps me to think of them, and also to save money.

This comment on pancake flour was wasn't so funny to me because the other day I found pancake flour at Winco for about 42 cents a lb. and made it into little breads. Delicious.

I don't use their recipe, of just adding water, but to add a little protein I use milk.

I make up a small stack of "pancakes" by mixing the milk and pancake mix to just thick enough to look like a good pancake consistancy, and use them for bread with lentils and such.

Or just to snack when the urge hits. But we have to be careful because they are so good we would be tempted to snack to much.

I buy the milk in larger size, so usually a half of container needs to be used more quickly. It is a good way to finish it off plus add protein.

We came home from the Winco bins with an awfully lot of food for 12 and 14 dollars, when thinking like a Kenyan diet for the poor, but adding those extras to keep them healthy.

Both shopping orders lasted a long while and were frankly delicious.

I'm rethinking my concepts of food needs.
