  1. A nice change from my usual buckwheat pancake recipe. I made this using low fat buttermilk and regular buckwheat flour (never heard of light buckwheat flour) and I got 7 large, thick pancakes. Tasty.
     
  2. I got 10 thick 3-inch pancakes. Whole wheat pastry flour made them extra hearty.
     
  3. totally in love with this recipe. used ginger in place of clove powder.
     
  4. Loved these for breakfast today! Very light and tasty. To make them even healthier, I dumped in some flaxseed and also used Whole wheat flour instead of white. Also, since I've never seen light buckwheat flour, I also used regular. AWESOME pancakes!
     
  5. These have good flavor, but mine were rather flat. I got 17 about 3" in diameter- I can't imagine how Cornelia could have got only 7! Next time I will experiment with adding more baking powder or some baking soda. Tasty and healthy! Thanks for posting.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
