We will stick with Aunt Jemima Pancake Mix, as used in the family for about four generations. Just the right mix of wheat and corn flour, sodium bicarbonate and phosphate, and a touch of sugar and salt. The recipe on the box is good:
1 1/4 cup of Aunt Jemima mix
add 2 eggs
add 1 cup milk
add 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Stir well and let stand for about 2 minutes

Optional-
Add blueberries or dried cranberries or apple and cinammon or chocolate chips, etc. (If 'you know who' is coming to dinner, spice his up with sprinkles of arsenic).
Pour enough for into preheated griddle for one pancake.

Or pour the basic formulation into a waffle (gaufre) iron; when done add maple syrup, enough to fill the depressions.
