I thought it might be interesting to do a review of the boxed mixes that Stonewall Kitchen sells.  I have used many of the different mixes they have with pretty good results.  Probably my favorite is the plain pancake and waffle mix.  My husband is nuts over waffles and he absolutely loves the Stonewall Kitchen brand.  The mix makes equally good pancakes and waffles.  The mix is simple to use and produces a nice airy texture, especially in the waffles.  This is great to have on hand if you want to get breakfast done quickly.  All you need are eggs, milk, and a little butter to whip up an great batch of pancakes.  If you aren’t into the plain variety they also sell blueberry, apple cinnamon, pumpkin (tasty! my favorite), potato, and chocolate.  A flavor for every taste!

The boxed mixes have been real hit or miss for me.  I absolutely love the quick and easy mixes they make for biscuits and scones.  The texture is very similar to made from scratch and the flavor is equally delicious.  The boxed breads are another story for me.  I am not saying they aren’t good, but I love to make my own at home quick breads and I find the quality of the boxed variety is not as good as the ones I can make at home.  This is not to say that this mixes aren’t good if you just are too busy to make your own.  I find the texture to be drier and the spice mixtures taste a little off to me, but what can you expect from a box.  This box mixes definitely out perform the ones you can buy at the grocery store. 

Overall, I would recommend Stonewall Kitchen boxed mixes for those under a time crunch.  I would recommend the scone,biscuit, and pancake mixes even for those not under a time crunch.
