If you're of a certain age, perhaps you remember this kids book. I had it, and my grandma and I would make the blueberry pancakes as breakfast for dinner every now and then. And the spell worked because they were always delicious!

The cover of a children's book titled "OLD BLACK WITCH!" features a cartoon illustration of a witch with messy hair flying out of a window on a broomstick. The house has red siding, and the background depicts bare, spindly trees under a pale sky.

The back cover of a 1966 children's book features a black-and-white line drawing of a witch in an apron standing on a stool to cook at a vintage stove. Below the illustration is a recipe titled "Bewitching Blueberry Pancakes," which lists the necessary ingredients, a magical rhyming chant to recite while stirring, and instructions for serving, followed by copyright text at the bottom.

BEWITCHING BLUEBERRY PANCAKES
1 1/4 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons melted fat or oil
1/2 cup washed blueberries

As you stir in the blueberries (this is the
magic part) say three times:
Gobble dee gook
With a wooden spoon,
The laugh of a toad
At the height of the moon!

Pour on a hot griddle and watch.

You can make things disappear just like Old
Black Witch. Put three pancakes in front of
any hungry boy or girl and watch them go.
