We're Cratinus & Magnes and we make crazy good pancake mixes. You might be curious about our name - we took a deep dive into pancake history (super nerdy) and found that in Ancient Greece (around 5th century BC), pancakes were referred to as “teganites” from the word “tegenon” which translates to “frying pan.” Poets Cratinus and Magnes were actually the first to reference pancakes in their writing, hence our name! But us? We're everything BUT ancient. We take a modern spin on the traditional pancake and aim to knock your socks off with our unique flavors. Our packaging reflects this fun, modern approach.
Check out our seasonal favorites! All ingredients sourced locally and ethically.
We love what we make, we love how it tastes, and we love the way it looks.
From the field to the shelf, we work with farmers to produce the highest quality flour.

“We all lead fairly busy lifestyles - the kids with school, sports, and weekend clubs, and me and Ron with our everchanging work commitments - so being able to throw together delicious, nourishing pancakes in a pinch in the mornings has been a game changer for our family. We all look forward to the seasonal limited edition mixes too!”

“I go to school in Eau Claire, WI and our coop recently started stocking C&M pancake mix! I'm from Madison and my mom and I have been obsessed with the mix and its staple flavors since its release last year (there's something oddly nostalgic about it). SO much better than the generic stuff. Being a college student, it's a tad out of my price range, so mom and dad include a bag or two in my care packages every month!”

"C&M's been a pantry staple for me as a single dad of young boys. It's their favorite breakfast by far, which is great because I love it too and don't have to make separate breakfasts in the morning. I'm a freelance UX designer and my hours can be unpredictable. Something quick, easy, and not-crap is a total necessity."
