This recipe gives buckwheat pancakes a the good reputation they deserve. I made them for Christmas morning for my sweetie and his parents. Although they were my first experimentation with buckwheat, ever, they came out really yummy and hearty. I made silver dollar sized pancakes, and everyone ate them until they were gone! Topped with a little bit of pure maple syrup from the Catskill Mountains in New York and a little bit of organic butter and they were delicious and filling. Next time I’ll try adding some mac nuts or berries.
