Large size makes 50 about pancakes. Since 1889. New name same great taste. Aunt Jemima. Same Great Taste: Aunt Jemima. Start of a new day. Back in 1889, our famous pancake recipe was first produced at a small mill in St. Joseph. Missouri - Pearl Milling Company. Since then, helping families start the day with a delicious breakfast option has been the mission of our pancakes. And while our name has changed, the light and fluffy pancakes and great tasting syrups you love remain the same. Here's to creating more memories and sharing more smiles for generations to come. With love, Pearl Milling Company.
