Pearl Milling Company: Authentic American Pancakes (Formerly Aunt Jemima)

New Name, Same Historic Recipe: The Aunt Jemima Legacy

Don't let the new logo surprise you! In 2021, the iconic brand Aunt Jemima was rebranded as Pearl Milling Company, paying tribute to the historic mill in St. Joseph, Missouri, where the original recipe was born in 1889. While the packaging got a fresh new look, the promise remains exactly the same: delivering the very best of American breakfast traditions with the century-old recipe that generations have loved.

With Pearl Milling Company, say goodbye to flat, lifeless crepes. You can finally make those thick, perfectly puffed, and fluffy pancakes right at home, just like the ones served in classic roadside Diners along Route 66.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why did Aunt Jemima change its name?

In 2021, PepsiCo decided to update the brand's image to reflect more inclusive values, retiring the Aunt Jemima character. The name Pearl Milling Company was chosen to honor the original late-19th-century mill where the mix was first created. The recipe for all the products has not changed at all.

How do you prepare Pearl Milling Company pancakes?

It’s incredibly simple. For the classic mix, blend 1 cup of dry mix with 3/4 cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of oil, and 1 egg. Whisk until large lumps disappear. Pour small ladles of batter onto a hot, buttered skillet. Flip the pancakes when bubbles form and pop on the surface, and enjoy!
