Recipe Reviews
The Cornbread Gospels is quite a new book for me. It's been fun reading so far and I'm pleased that the first recipe I've tried turned out so well. These are very good pancakes. The cornmeal adds a nice crunchiness, and the buckwheat flour an interesting taste. (I happen to have a stash of buckwheat flour that I'm trying to use up, so that made the recipe even more appealing.)
Dragonwagon says to use to medium bowls for mixing dry and wet ingredients. I mixed the dry in the largest of my 3-bowl pyrex set and the wet in the middle bowl; assuming this the medium bowl she means, I'm glad I used a larger bowl for the wet ingredients, since it was pretty full. I used dried buttermilk (the Real Thing being largely unheard of where I live), including the powder with the dry ingredients and adding water to the eggs.
The whole recipe made about 32 pancakes. We ate half (with maple syrup, rather than the Warm Maple-Apple Sauté suggested); I've frozen the rest for a future meal.
Lacking sugar in the batter, the pancakes are quite savory; not big sweet-eaters, we both liked this feature. I also thought they'd be a great base for a dinner meal. They'd be a good base for cream of something (SOP rather than SOS;-), and I like Dragonwagon's idea of making a stack with sautéed veggies between the layers.
This will likely end up the go-to recipe whenever we have a hankering for pancakes.
