Antique Apothecary

    When you have children a good pancake recipe is a MUST!  It has taken me a year to figure out a few that I liked and could still eat.  So without further ado, because I can't stand it when you have to scroll through a post for 15 minutes to get to a recipe, here it is.

     Whether you're allergic to corn, or just trying to avoid the stuff, it's a real challenge.  I frequently say I would gladly keep my dairy and gluten allergies, if only I could tolerate corn.  It's EVERYWHERE!  Even on many brands of toilet paper.  Seriously folks, cornstarch on your toilet paper to prevent the rolls from sticking together.    Another place many people don't think of finding corn is in their baking powder.  It is typically made up of baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.  The baking soda is the leavening agent.  Cream of tartar is the acid that induces the reaction to set of the leavener.  And the starch is a drying agent.
