They’re expensive ($1.50/can at Safeway) although maybe cheaper at an Asian Grocer.

Not sure what would be negative about canned water chestnuts but you can also find fresh water chestnuts in the produce section of Chinese grocers and some gourmet grocery stores, though if you find $1.50 to be expensive you may be in for a surprise.

I am near end of box mix.
what are your favorite pancake recipes?
no way was I making pancakes or pondering recipes pre-pandemic. THANK YOU FlyerTalk and Dining Buzz people for igniting my ability and desire to cook food at home.

Do you have sourdough starter? You can use the starter or the discard for pancakes.
