This recipe is from the classic cookbook titled Kate Smith's Breakfast Book (Kate Smith, General Foods Corp., 1941).

The subtitle of this book is "Better Ways To Start Your Day." Kate Smith was radio-heyday singer best known for her rendition of "God Bless America".

Her magazine-style breakfast book is filled with recipes promoting General Foods' products like Grape-Nuts and Post Toasties.

Besides the recipes, Kate shows you, in a series of pictures, the right way and wrong way to eat breakfast.

According to a note from Kate Smith in the Griddle Specialties section of her Breakfast Book, "Waffles and pancakes made with Calumet Baking Powder can be made the day before and then stored in your refrigerator. Just cover the bowl of batter well."

Mr Breakfast would like to thank Mr Breakfast for this recipe.

We liked them. They have a little bit of crunch and a nice flavor. We even used extra Grape-Nuts to sprinkle on top at the end.
