Fluffy Buckwheat Pancakes

Who remembers coming home from school to a plate piled high with pikelets alongside a bowl of cream and jam?  We do!  We love to give our children the joy in foods that are memorable from our childhood, however we also value re-creating old-time favourites with more nutrient dense ingredients using “traditional foodie” methods.

This Buckwheat Pancake recipe is one of many recipes given to us by our beautiful friend Ni.  It is such a faithful recipe and works well as pancakes or a smaller version of pancakes that we grew up knowing as “Pikelets”.  Using 2 valuable gluten free grains (buckwheat & rice flour) these pancakes can be prepared using traditional methods of grain preparation by grinding grains and soaking the flour in water with a couple of tablespoons of whey overnight.  This process reduces the anti-nutrient effect of Phytic Acids in the grains, making them more nutritious and digestible.
