I have been wanting to try something with buckwheat flour since this post on 101 Cookbooks. I bought the flour to try that recipe but haven't gotten around to it yet. As I was thinking about what to make for dinner with the minimal ingredients I have on hand (due to not having cooked in a long while since baking is my thing right now) I got to thinking about breakfast for dinner. I peeked in the fridge and saw the buckwheat flour. Hmm. I looked around a little more and saw two pears. Hmm. Didn't I see this somewhere? I went to The Book (if you've read ANY of my posts in the past two months, you know which book) and there were the Pear and Buckwheat Pancakes. What a coincidence.
This was an easy recipe. You just grate in the pears, right over the bowl so that the juices fall in, mix wet into dry, and make as pancakes. I, however, am bad at pancakes. This was not always so. Once upon a time I could flip a pancake and it would work out just the way it was supposed to. Now, for some reason, they are always falling on top of themselves. You would think I would have gotten better, not worse, but oh well.
The pancakes tasted good. They were nice and moist. The buckwheat flour has a strong taste, but the kind where you keep taking another bite trying to really figure it out. The recipe calls for a honey butter to be poured over the pancakes, which I would love to try sometime, maybe for guests, but I felt it was too indulgent for something I was eating right at the stove.
