Notes

• Buckwheat pancakes! - honestly, it is hard for me to find a buckwheat pancake recipe that doesn't taste like dry cardboard. BUT I think I created the right balance & blend with this one where you still get the light & calming benefits buckwheat but without excess dryness. YAY!

• The buckwheat in this dish makes it a good pancake option for kapha - when they are craving it, and especially good during this cold, wet, and heavy season! It can be balanced for the other doshas in this season - vata & pitta but I would have buckwheat in moderation anyway for you guys!
