Hoito Pancake Mix – A Taste of Thunder Bay Tradition

Bring a piece of Northern Ontario history into your kitchen with Hoito Pancake Mix, inspired by one of Thunder Bay’s most iconic and beloved restaurants. Known for its legendary pancakes, the Hoito has been a local favourite for generations, serving up simple, hearty food rooted in Finnish tradition.

Founded in 1918, the Hoito (meaning “care” in Finnish) began as part of the Finnish Labour Temple and quickly became famous for its thin, crepe-style pancakes served with syrup, butter, or traditional toppings. It became more than just a restaurant — it was a gathering place, a community hub, and a symbol of Thunder Bay’s rich cultural heritage.

This pancake mix captures that same classic flavour and tradition, making it easy to recreate the Hoito experience at home. Whether you prefer them thin and crispy or soft and golden, these pancakes are perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any time you want a comforting, nostalgic meal.
