Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Flour, first marketed in 1899, was America’s original ready-mix food. Until the mix became nationally available in 1910, Americans thought of pancakes only as a hearty wintertime breakfast. But with the convenience offered by a mix, flapjacks were established as a quick anytime meal. Here, we’ve taken a few modern liberties with the favorite breakfast standby, with great results.

Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°F. Whisk first 7 ingredients in large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, 3/4 cup oil and eggs in medium bowl. Add to dry ingredients and mix just until blended but still lumpy. Fold in zucchini and currants.
Step 2
Heat griddle or heavy large skillet over medium heat. Brush lightly with vegetable oil. Working in batches, pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto griddle, spacing apart. Cook until bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until second sides are golden and pancakes are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet; keep warm in oven. Serve hot with butter and syrup.
