The instructions are about as basic as it gets: pour the batter, sprinkle or layer on the extras, flip, and serve. It’s easy to see why this became a fun weekend breakfast option in the early ’60s, especially with a griddle running and a hungry group to feed. Still works just as well now.

Hooray! It’s Aunt Jemima Day (1962)
“I want blueberries!””Bacon for me.” “May I have banana slices?”
Now everybody can have his own favorite!
Just shake up a batch of Aunt Jemima batter and pour. While the first side is cooking, sprinkle on blueberries, crumbled cooked bacon, or maybe chopped pecans. Raisins or chocolate chips, too. Or… place slices of franks or bananas on griddle and pour batter over them; bake to a golden brown on each side.
