Product: Mrs. Butterworth’s Pancake Breakfast Cup
Specs: Pancake flour and “syrup chips” are contained in a 2.5-ounce paper cup, which receives the addition of water and a pit stop in the microwave for creating a baked, buttermilk pancake.
Preparation summary: Add 3 tablespoons of water and microwave uncovered for 1 to 1:40 minutes. Let cool for 2 minutes.
High points: None
Low points: Whoever came up with the concept of creating microwave pancakes in a cup should be blacklisted from working in research and development forever. Imagine sinking your teeth into a hot kitchen sponge after it was used to mop up spilled maple syrup. Mrs. Butterworth’s has nothing to gain from this waste matter. Nor do other companies peddling the same idea, such as Aunt Jemima, Kodiak Cakes, and Birch Benders.
