Maple Syrup and Soft Wheat Pancake Gift Bag
Maple Syrup and Soft Wheat Pancake Gift Bag
This gift bag pairs Bonhomie’s rich, deeply flavorful maple syrup with Local Millers’ soft red wheat flour to create the perfect foundation for tender, delicious pancakes. The soft red wheat is stone ground from regeneratively grown Ohio grain, producing a fine pastry style flour that is lower in protein and ideal for pancakes, quick breads, cookies, and other non-yeasted baking. Its subtly sweet, nutty, and delicate flavor shines when folded into a simple batter. Bonhomie has been making maple syrup on the same land in Fredericktown since 1800, and their syrup brings a complex, robust sweetness that pairs beautifully with the light texture of soft wheat pancakes. Together, they make a comforting and wholesome breakfast that celebrates Ohio farming and traditional milling.
Simple Soft Wheat Pancakes

- 1 tablespoon melted butter or oil
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk egg, milk, and melted butter.
