Pancakes and Flapjacks

Pancakes are thin, flat and often round cakes made from a batter and cooked either on a hot griddle or a frying pan. Most pancakes are quick breads which use a leavening agent such as baking powder. They are usually served with syrup, jam or fruit. In some places, such as Germany, pancakes are made from potatoes. Although associated with the United States, pancakes were actually an Ancient Greek invention, usually served as a quick breakfast for Greek troops.

Who made Mrs Butterworth syrup?

Pinnacle Foods as they bought out Aurora Foods in 2003 . Mrs. Butterworth's syrup is not the real thing and only has Maple syrup flavoring in it along with High fructose corn syrup. surprising Pinnacles other brand Log Cabin now proudly proclaims no HFCS ( and those who like to say HFCS is the same as sugar then why is only sugar found in baby food)

Once you've tried the real Maple Syrup you'll never prefer anything else. but sadly not everyone can justify the price

I agree its not real maple syrup, but I think its origins were.

this is one of those bits of trivia that I don't think anyone knows, so I hate to give it up.

Its like power.........

Unilever (back when they were The Lever Bros. company) owned Mrs. Butterworth's before Aurora. The brand was created in 1961 and I believe they might have created the brand. Originally the brand had real butter in it and I think it might have also had real maple syrup. Now there's not a lot of real ingredients in it!
