Submitted by PaulaG

"Dark, moist, slightly spicy pancakes. No one would ever guess the ingredients list. I served these with fresh blueberry/honey sauce. Probably would be wonderful served with glazed, cooked apples."

Had these uniquely enjoyable pancakes the other day, & right off, I have to say, this recipe is definitely a keeper! The multiple flavors are really nice! One change I did make was to mash up a generous half cup of blueberries & added that to the prepared blueberry & honey sauce! Thanks so much for sharing this unusual recipe!

We must be very small eaters...lol. This recipe made too much for DH and myself for breakfast one morning...well, except the bluberry honey sauce, so DH encouraged me to refrigerate the unused batter for the following morning. I usually don't care for the results of left over pancake batter, but was pleasantly surprised at how well this cooked up the 2nd morning. It did take me a little adjusting to find just the right temperature (and time) to cook these at without having them be doughy in the center. We'll definitely be having these again; in fact, I just bought another container of fresh blueberries, which I will be making into more sauce for these pancakes and a batch of blueberry muffins.

Very good. I enjoyed these unusual pancakes. They were moist and have a very nutty flavor from the rye that is quite distinct, although not all tasters enjoyed this nuttiness. The batter was quite thick and I did need to add extra liquid as the batter seems to absorb all the liquid between batches. The sauce was very thin - I would add something to thicken it next time, perhaps some cornstarch. Overall a very good recipe, but perhaps an acquired taste for some.
