Firehouse Notes

  • Bell-proof — not this one
  • Bulk-ready — scales for 8 and up without fuss
  • Shift meal — not this one
  • Drop-off friendly — not this one

Best served fresh off the griddle. The tangy flavor from the discard makes these different from any pancake mix. Perfect for the morning shift breakfast rotation.
