I don't understand why, if you are cooking 6-8 at a time it's taking you that long? Is that part of the gluten free thing that's different from "regular" pancakes? I make 4 at a time and in 15 minutes I have enough for my family plus some... I'd say about 50. So if I were making 8 at a time that would be 100 pancakes in about 15-20 minutes. Now, that's not counting mixing time, just cooking time, but that doesn't add in too much extra time, maybe 5 minutes. I let the pan preheat while I'm mixing and by the time I'm ready it's hot.

But I agree, just pancakes will not make you not be hungry.... they'll fill you up then, but not keep you that way.

Oh, and sometimes I'll use my cast iron skillet and just pour my regular pancake batter in it and bake it. It takes longer, but I don't have to be right there.
