To start the day well, there is nothing better than delicious pancakes that are both light and indulgent. I was inspired to make them by a dear friend who told me she could not eat white flour; so I started experimenting until I achieved this delicious buckwheat blend, which gives them a rustic touch, and best of all, it is gluten-free.
