buckwheat cakes

Hearty breakfast stack

Buckwheat cakes are pancakes made with flour from buckwheat, a grain-like seed unrelated to wheat despite its name.

They have a distinctive earthy, slightly nutty flavor and darker color than regular pancakes.

Once a staple of American breakfasts, particularly in rural areas, buckwheat cakes have become less common but remain popular in certain regional cuisines.

We had buckwheat cakes with maple syrup at the farmhouse.
