How hard is it to perfect a gluten-free recipe? The Wall Street Journal recently interviewed Jodi Benson, Director of Baking Products Research and Development at General Mills. The company is rolling out the new Betty Crocker Gluten-Free Mixes nationwide this month.
Ms. Benson told the WSJ that General Mills "food scientists spent three months baking over 1000 pans of cakes, cookies and brownies in the process of conducting over 75 experiments using different gluten-free ingredient formulations."
Early in development the yellow cake mix caused scientists problems when "the rice-based cake mix wouldn't rise and left moist matter in the bottom of the pan." I know the feeling! So gluten-free cooks, don't be too hard on yourselves when you create a flop. World-class food scientists experience gluten-free flops too.
The Betty Crocker Gluten-Free product line includes:
-
Betty Crocker® Gluten Free Yellow Cake Mix
- Betty Crocker® Gluten Free Devil’s Food Cake Mix
- Betty Crocker® Gluten Free Brownie Mix
- Betty Crocker® Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
The mixes will cost about $2.00 more than traditional, wheat-based Betty Crocker mixes. Gluten-free shoppers will begin to see the new mixes in the baking aisle at groceries nationwide this month.
