I ate pancakes on Sunday, in April

I took this picture before devouring this triangular

stack of pancakes made by Chef HK, who

is a master of making pancakes. I used to think

that pancakes have to be made from the box mix.

We usually had a box of pancake mix

in our pantry. It was Bisquick, and then

I saw a movie with Spencer Tracy and Katherine

Hepburn - where she wanted to be a perfect little

wife, and made him waffles from scratch---wow! -

this was definitely a big culinary revelation to me! -

I copied that movie waffle recipe and later found a pancake

recipe in some cook book. From then on I made my own

pancake mix, but not for that long... we are back buying

pancake mix again - Aunt Jemima this time. Chef HK gets

good, fluffy pancakes from the box mix every time, which can't

be said about my personal "from scratch pancake mix".

I must add here that waffles come out OK from the

homemade mix, but since I hate cleaning the waffle iron,

pancakes are ruling in our kitchen once again.

Thank you Aunt Jemima!
