As the weather begins to cool and the leaves are starting to have hints of orange and yellow, I fear I am getting back into "pancake mode" on Sunday mornings.

You would think that I would have run out of pancake ideas by now, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It's OK though, I mean, that's what Sunday mornings are for - leisurely coffee and a big breakfast.
Buckwheat is not wheat at all and also does
not contain any gluten. It is a seed, not a grain, and has a lot of healthful properties.
It has a strong, assertive taste that is very unique.
You can make these pancakes with all buckwheat flour, which is great if you can't or don't eat gluten, or you can cut it with some wheat flour (which is what I did). These pancakes are very hearty and when I'm cooking them on a cast iron griddle, the smell makes me think of what it may have been like in "the old days" for some reason.
Give these pancakes a try now
that the weather is cooling. This recipe should make enough to serve
three to four people.
