Buckwheat Pancakes

i've been making these for somewhere around 3 years now. before i made my post-swine flu breakfast switch to yogurt and granola i made these every single morning. and when i say every single - i mean just that. as if you can't already tell; i'm a tab bit neurotic when it comes to both my schedule and my meals. in other words: i know what i want and i usually see no reason to not have it. i don't know when the same-thing-for-breakfast glitch was activated but the farthest back i can trace it is college - yogurt, berries and grapenuts (and tons of it). that stuck around for about 3 years then on to 1 fried egg, 1 piece of toast and a bit of yogurt, after a few years of that it was soy yogurt, an apple and off-brand cheerios. anyways i could go on like this but you get the annoying point. so during my flu i was unable to cook anything and by chance it came back to yogurt. but in my old age i've spiced things up a bit and now have pancakes every saturday and sunday. i know - so crazy!

now that you are thoroughly bored and maybe even a little weirded out i will warn you that these have been tailor made specific to my taste - so i make no claims to what other will think. i've never made these for anyone but myself but if you want something healthy and still a fun treat - check it out. my standard "syrup" is a 1 part honey or agave mixed with 3-4 parts water then microwaved for 30 seconds. this makes a thin syrup that you dip your pancake bite into. yum!
