Cinnamon Buckwheat Pancakes

Easily whip up stacks of fluffy pancakes for an indulgent cafe-style breakfast at home. Serve warm, drizzled with pure maple syrup and freshly whipped cream with fresh berries for a burst of colour and nutrients. Edible flowers (I’ve used rosemary flowers from my garden here) are completly optional but they sure add a pretty touch to brighten anyone’s day. For a simpler yet equally delicious option, just some good ol’ butter and maple syrup or honey is our favorite combo.

These pancakes freezes very well, so you can have pancakes any other day if you make extras or have leftovers. See tips below on how to reheat frozen pancakes for a quick pancake fix anytime!

Notes

Adjust the heat as necessary to achieve a consistent result. Pancakes should be golden and cook through.

Buckwheat flour is gluten free and is lower GI compared to wheat flour.  It also contains more protein, fibre and minerals such as copper, manganese, iron, phosphorus and magnesium.

Tips: When the heat is right, pancakes will fluff up when it is flipped to the second side.

Note:  This makes about 20 or more 4″ round pancakes.  Half the recipe for less servings or freeze the excess for snack box fillers and lazy mornings.  Just defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat in an oven toaster for 5 mins at 170 degree C.
