I asked ChatGPT “What Makes This Special”
Good question. Uncle Boof’s World Famous Pancake Mix is a locally made pancake mix from Dayton, Ohio. Here’s what makes it special:
What It Is:
It’s a small-batch pancake mix, created by Dexter “Uncle Boof” Clay and Zach Jeckering.
The mix is made entirely in Dayton — sourced, packaged, and produced there.

It doesn’t have artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.

How to Use It
According to its listing at Dorothy Lane Market, you mix 1 cup of milk + 1 egg per box (or per standard serving) to make the pancake batter.
Then you cook it like regular pancake batter on a griddle or pan.
Where It Comes From / Background
The brand was started around 2021 as a way for Clay and Jeckering to connect with the community.
They opened a commercial kitchen (in a building that became “The Ugly Duckling” restaurant) to scale up production.
Their restaurant, The Ugly Duckling, uses the mix for its pancake dishes.
The pancake mix is sold in several local Dayton stores (like Dorothy Lane Market, Gem City Market, Tony & Pete’s) as well as online.
Originally, they aimed to produce about 1,000 boxes/month.
The mix is listed for $7.50 on its official website.

On Dorothy Lane Market, it’s around $7.99 for a 16 oz box.
Bottom line: It’s a premium, community-driven pancake mix — not a mass-market brand — made with care in Dayton. If you like supporting local food makers and want a straightforward, high-quality pancake mix, this could be really cool to try.
If you like, I can check current stock & where to buy it online (if they ship outside Dayton) — do you want me to do that?
