Buckwheat Pancakes

This was the last remaining pancake recipe from Simply in Season. Which is kind of a good thing, since in the summer I always have herbs and greens that I need to use up, and the easiest way to do that is in scrambled eggs. But sometimes, pancakes and waffles are what we’re craving for breakfast. My Dad used to make us buckwheat pancakes every morning before school.

3/4 cup flour
3/4 cup buckwheat flour
3 Tbs sugar
3 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1 egg (well beaten)
1 cup milk
3 Tbs oil
1 Tbs molasses

1. Sift together dry ingredients

2. Combine wet ingredients

3. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened

4. Fry in a hot, greased frypan.

Servings: 4

The Verdict: DH said these were kind of a pain to make since they didn’t spread very well and the molasses made them prone to burning. But the flavor and texture were awesome. The molasses really brought out the flavor of the buckwheat, which all went well with the raw maple syrup.
