I have tried a bunch of different gluten free pasta. The difference between brands is striking. Best advice I can give with all things gluten free is just because you have a terrible experience with brand X dont write off the platform. There will be a different brand that works and tastes just fine for you. Here is pix of grandson getting ready to whip up some gluten free pancakes this morning. Pro tip. Batter is much looser than traditional, hot skillet is key, low and slow as you would traditionally mixed batter will not turn out well. High heat stick em and flip em!
