We've got nothing against pancakes. But even mixing up a batch of Bisquick is a messy endeavor on a Sunday morning. And that's provided we've got the milk, eggs and whatnot. Enter the Batter Blaster, a Reddi-Whip like can of pancake batter that promises to deliver a plateful of pancakes with just a few pressurized puffs. We were skeptical so we looked at the ingredients: unbleached wheat flour, sea salt, organic whole eggs and cane sugar. Sounds a lot better than Bisquick. And the best part? The finished pancakes are light and fluffy, with just a touch of sweetness. And since it's certified-organic, it's practically health food right? About $5, at your local gourmet grocery store.
