I wanted to surprise my parents with a Sunday brunch with pancakes, so I bought some organic buckwheat pancake mix and went home extra early today to cook. Perhaps I should have stuck to the usual chocolate chip pancakes—because I wasn’t familiar with this particular brand nor type of mix/buckwheat, there was a bit of a learning curve. Observe:
Pancake fail. Later I found out that Dad had run upstairs and told Mom that she’d better go keep an eye on me. O YE OF LITTLE FAITH.
VICTORY! Okay, so they’re not perfect, but I blame the lack of a griddle and a bad spatula. They taste a little different and have a strange texture—kind of like zarusoba in pancake form, which I suppose makes sense because it is buckwheat—but they were delicious and healthy!
Pick yours up at the local Nob Hill!
