Being of Norwegian ancestry, pancakes are a near-sacrament in our home. I have fed literally hundreds of people buttermilk/buckwheat island pancakes since I first fired up my home griddle back in 1990.
The most basic recipe involves
2 cups spelt flour
1/4 cup buckwheat blour
1/4 cup canola oil
2 cups whole buttermilk
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp sugar
3 crushed, overripe bananas
Sometimes I scale back the bananas, especially if I'm featuring other fruit (strawberries, apples, or peaches on top, blueberries in the batter)
This kind of pancake deserves real maple syrup, which I and my Father-in_law make from 160 tapped Maples. Also, smother these cakes in butter, and serve real hot.
Sometimes whipped cream with the peaches is the way to go, if you have a sweet tooth.
It's nice to serve some meat with these as well. I grind my own venison burgers, 15% beef fat.
I'm hungry. Uff da.
