Buckwheat can't be beat

I was reading somewhere about a place where they eat fish and vegetables and buckwheat and they live long healthier lives...but I forget about buckwheat much of the time and then when I use it again I get back into it.
So this morning I took a bowl and dumped some buckwheat flour in it and some rice flour and some sorghum flour, a little salt, some baking powder, some oil, some blackstrap molasses, and as much rice milk as it took to get the batter the consistency I like for pancakes...I sprayed the pan with PAM and had me some pancakes with real maple syrup. There were yummy. Then I put wax paper between the remaining pancakes and put them in the fridge for another morning. Ah...buckwheat. Breakfast of long livers...gee that is funny...long livers...and short kidneys?...ok...I know ... ENOUGH! LOL Have a good one.

Buckwheat Pancakes

I adapted a buckwheat pancake recipe from one by the editors of Easy Home Cooking Magazine that I stumbled onto at howstuffworks.com.

First of all you make up the pancake mix and this can be used when you are in the mood for a few cakes.

Mix together the following, and store in an airtight container:

2 cups buckwheat flour

1 cup rice flour

1 cup sweet sorghum flour

2 TB sugar

4 tsp. baking powder

2 tsp. baking soda

2-3 tsp. Xanthan Gum, if desired

1 tsp. salt

Pancake recipe

Mix:

1 cup of the pancake mix

1 cup rice milk

2 TB oil

1 egg (I skipped the egg)

Cook on greased hot griddle or fry pan a couple minutes and then flip and serve with syrup or whatever you feel like having with it.

These tend to brown easily so don't be alarmed if they are dark. I enjoyed mine, I hope you enjoy yours.

I can see the ground and it is green...robins are diving onto the green stuff all over the yard. I guess they are happy the snow melted too.

I wrote 6,000 words in my latest novel over the weekend. the words were flowin'...YES!
