Buckwheat Pancakes

If you like pancakes, you need this recipe in your life. I got it from the family Dave stayed with in Vegas a few summers ago. Since I never have buckwheat flour, I usually use whole wheat flour instead.

Mix together thoroughly:

1 c. buckwheat flour

1 c. sifted all-purpose or whole wheat flour

2 tsp. double-acting baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

2 tsp. sugar

1 tsp. salt

You may substitute 2 tsp. molasses for the sugar. If so, add it to the buttermilk, below. Stir into flour mixture:

2 beaten egg yolks

¼ c. melted butter

2 c. buttermilk

Whip until stiff, but not dry:

2 egg whites

Fold them into batter until it is blended only. Cook on a greased hot griddle.
