Burke: Cold chisel and hammer?

Maple is one of nature's most perfect flavors. Love it.

The better quality your pancakes are, the more the wonderful flavor of natural maple shines forth. The ol' Krusteaz just-add-water pancakes just don't show off the maple as well as the really good pancakes made with real eggs and real whole milk. Dunno why.

Best ever recipe is the waffle recipe in the old Joy of Cooking. Tons of butter, lots of eggs, separated, with the whites whipped. Makes the most incredible pancakes.
