I am on a pantry cleaning spree - more so of my freezer than of anything else. I just seem to have hoarded so many stuff in there that even simple navigation seems to be an issue. I do hate to have a messy pantry with 'too-many-to-count' items in there - but I guess I hate returning "empty-handed" from a grocery more!!! Its been hard for me to not buy stuff which I wont be making immediately. I am glad I have managed it somehow in these last 2 weeks cos clearly at the rate I am managing to empty out my freezer, I shouldn't even consider going to whole foods for another 2 whole months. The first thing that came out of the freezer when I put my hands into it was this Buckwheat flour. Oh yes!!! I have been meaning to try this recipe from Ellie Krieger ever since I it in her show.

I remember getting the flour, the same evening and then somehow managed to forget all about it. So here it comes now. I made v subtle changes to the recipe. I found that the this pancake had a more Earthy taste to it. It was not at all sweet and even I had to actually add quite a bit of honey to my pancakes as a topping. I also found that if you let the pancake batter stand for some time, it start tasting better than when made immediately. If you have never used Buckwheat flour earlier, then I would suggest you to go slow on it. Add a little of the buckwheat flour to this recipe, get used to the taste and slowly up the measurement the next time you try it. I added the original measure since I knew what to expect the first time around, having made recipes with the flour. Makes a power packed breakfast in the morning bursting with blueberries. Perfect for us.
