This is a recipe that Mama prepared for us that had an unusual ingredient (pancake mix), used to make a roux, which is used in the base for the sauce. Although Mama is no longer with us, I think of her each time I prepare this dish! Several years ago I was fortunate to be chosen to cook with a famous local chef, and be a part of his television cooking series that featured this special recipe. 20 of my friends and family were invited to be a part of the event, and the dish was enjoyed by everyone.
