King Arthur Flour Review & Giveaway

December 12, 2010

This is a review and giveaway of The King Arthur Flour Gluten-Free mixes. I choose to review their Gluten-Free Bread Mix and their Gluten-Free Pancake Mix. King Arthur Flour is giving away to one lucky winner two boxes of their gluten-free mix.

King Arthur Flour is America’s oldest flour company, founded in 1790. They became an employee-owned company in 1996, when Frank Sands instated the employee stock ownership program (ESOP). They are now 100% employee-owned, and have always been 100% committed to quality. Their headquarters in Norwich, Vermont, is a 16,600-square-foot timber-frame structure called, appropriately, Camelot.

King Arthur Flour now carries gluten-free mix. Their gluten-free products are packed off site, at a dedicated gluten-free facility. This facility processes only gluten-free foods, and all personnel are carefully trained in practices and procedures that support gluten-free manufacturing of food products.

The King Arthur Flour Gluten-Free Bread Mix was so easy to make. I just added 4 Tbsp. of butter, 1 1/2 Cups of warm water and 3 Eggs. (No milk required). When I was done mixing it, I let it rise for 30 minutes. Then I stirred it and put it to a greased bread pan. Then let it rise for another 40 minutes. Then I put the bread in a preheated 350 degree oven for 20-40 minutes till it was done and that was it. I let it cool for a few minutes then I sliced it. It sliced so easy, it did not crumble or push in when I sliced it. And it sliced as thin as I wanted it to. The bread was firm, fluffy and moist. And it tasted so good. My 5 year old kept asking me for more of the bread. It does contain sugar for those of you who cannot have sugar in your diet. Definitely one of the best tasting gluten-free bread mixes I have ever tried. I give this bread and King Arthur Flour 5 stars out of 5.

The King Arthur Flour Pancake Mix was very to make as well. It requires 2 eggs, 6 Tbsp. of butter and 2 cups of milk(I used rice milk). I added a couple bananas to the recipe, since banana pancakes are my very favorite. I scooped the batter on a preheated 350 degree griddle then cooked for a couple of minutes on each side and they were done. These pancakes are the best gluten-free pancakes I have ever tasted and my family really liked them too. They taste and look like real pancakes. The pancakes are light, fluffy and moist. It does contain sugar for those of you on a sugar-free diet. I give these pancakes and King Arthur Flour 5 stars out of 5. I highly recommend King Arthur Flour products.
