Carbon's Golden Malted Gluten Free Waffle and Pancake Mix, 32 Ounce

OMG, I can't believe it. It is so easy. 1 cup mix to 1 cup water. Mix. That's it. No whipping egg whites in a separate bowl to fold in later. In fact, no eggs at all. No oil. Just mix and water. Easily scalable (1/2 cup each works great for a single waffle). And the waffles are fantastic. Admittedly, I have no idea what the original (non gluten-free) tastes like, as I hadn't heard of this brand before. And "malted" may be a bit of an exaggeration, versus "vanilla." All I can do is compare it to all the other gluten-free waffle mixes I've tried over the last 20 years. I took a chance, and these taste great. They actually have a flavor, not just "rice," and even smell good cooking. Nice texture. Not grainy; smooth batter. The waffles even have "chew"! (and if you eat gluten-free, you'll know what I mean and really appreciate that!) So easy to make, and I can't stop making them. I've been known to make a single waffle to put some peanut butter on for a late night snack. Definitely going to reorder.Update: OK, I tried them with pancakes for the first time. The first batch was barely brown (hadn't heated the griddle enough) and they were good! The second batch I got to a nicer brown color. And... the flavor of the pancakes was overwhelming, and a bit gross, actually. So if you see reviews about not liking the taste, they could be right! Be sure not to cook pancakes beyond a light blond color.So, in summary, I have reordered this package of 3 at least 4 times, always to happily make waffles. I have a normal waffle maker (not a Belgian one). It is just too freaking easy! And if I want pancakes, well, I use something else.Added: I have a non-stick waffle maker, and use spray oil. I have no problem with waffles sticking, ever.Dec 2018 edit: They have revised the mix directions to include melted butter, and changed the ratio of mix/water. I don't bother and follow the original 1:1 mix:water ratio. Simplicity was the whole point! It's still so nice to not have crumbly waffles!

These had perfect texture and a tasted like a less sweet cornbread. Did not stick to my waffle maker and cooked quick and even. I would buy this mix again.

It is okay, it does not taste like my wonderful and original Carbon's Golden Malted mix. I would not purchase again, since I can still eat the original on occasion.

My husband and I have been eating the regular Carbon's for a while now and one of our favorite dinners is when we have 'Waffle Night'. When I first found out I was gluten intolerant I continued to make the good stuff for my husband and purchased what was supposed to be 'the best' gluten free frozen waffle. Oh what a disappointment!! Hard and tough and add the syrup and they turn into a pile of mush. Tonight I make these. Ohmygosh I was in heaven!! They are crispy on the outside and airy and delicious on the inside. I can certainly live with these. They are almost as good as the regular, at least I thought so.One thing of note. We have a really nice waffle iron with a very non-stick surface. Regular waffles never stick but these did a bit. I'm guessing much of that was due to the lack of gluten to hold the waffle together but whatever, a quick squirt of cooking spray fixed it right up.

Not the best waffle mix. In order to get good waffles several items need to be added which defeats the purpose of buy a "mix". Thhe waffles from the first batch, mixed as directed, were pretty flavorless and stuck to the iron. After adding a little oil, an egg, some vanilla and a bit of sugar the waffles were better and didn't stick as much but I could have used flour and gotten the same results and mess. Too expensive. I was expecting much better.

We tried to make waffles in waffle iron but batter too thin and did not riseSmall pieces tasted ok but not athletically pleasing

Loved this batter. It’s hard finding a gluten free batter worth making. This one is so good and sooo easy, you only add water and melted butter. Approved by my non gluten free family member too!

We got this to use in our Mickey Belgian waffle maker to make waffles exactly like we get in WDW. For anyone making similar Belgian waffles, the recipe on the bag (“just add water and butter”) the batter barely rises at all and won’t rise high enough to fill the waffle mold, so you get a one sided Mickey. You will need to add an egg to help it rise. We also added a little more vanilla. Also, make sure your setting is dark enough. The crunch on these waffles is what makes or breaks them. If they aren’t crunchy, they are just dense and my kids were not impressed. Last bit of feedback is this mix is super pricey even for Gf mix. Today we used nearly half the bag just to make enough for our young family of 4 (which was 2 batches using the recipe on the bag)
