Makes 4 dozen Chris in NM ============================================= In response to someone out in your group had a recipe for pancake/waffle mix that is multi-grained You can take any pancake or waffle recipe that you like and substitute any grains. Start with leaving about half the wheat and substituting a combination of rye, oat, and rice flour for the other half. If you like that, you can try using only about 1/4 wheat. (With bread recipes, you usually need at least half wheat.) Brandel in Jerusalem =============================================== Nancy, thank you for your newsletter. It is by far the best one on the net. I look forward to seeing it in my mail box. This is for Elaine. This is the Brownie recipe that I have in my Bisquik cookbook.
