Jane HenegarWelcome to Fare Exchange and some questions both sour and sweet. We are on the trail of half-done pickles of the kind that Shapiro’s Deli used to have.
Then there is the subject of waffles vs. pancakes, though, of course, this is not an either-or proposition. What about using pancake batter to make waffles? Does it work or not? If it doesn’t work without alteration, we hope one of you can supply a recipe that adapts pancake mix to create waffles, “particularly with Aretha Frankenstein’s pancake mix.”
It’s Debbie Pataky who would love to buy half-done pickles or, if necessary, to make them. “I’m not a big fan of making pickles. I’ve had to throw away too many to count that I have ruined. But I might try if we can locate this recipe,” she says.
The next request came anonymously from a reader who purchased Aretha Frankenstein’s pancake mix “with a note on the side that said ‘waffle mix.’ I thought that meant the box would tell me how to use this mix for waffles, but evidently there is a separate mix. I have, however, bought several boxes of Aretha’s mix and want to make waffles, with your readers’ help.”
