Mel's Buckwheat Pancakes

Submitted by Ackman

"These are really good cooked on a cast iron griddle, greased with a dab of bacon grease over an open fire or camp-cookstove! You can also make them at home on your favorite griddle. Taste wonderful when served with real maple syrup or homemade blueberry sauce, along with some thick sliced bacon or breakfast sausage!"
