Method

Buckwheat pancakes with mixed berries

1
Combine sifted flours and baking powder in a medium bowl.
2
Whisk together egg, milk, syrup, vanilla and lemon in a bowl. Add to flour mixture; stir until just combined.
3
Lightly spray a heated large non-stick frying pan with oil; cook ¼-cups of mixture, over medium heat, for 2 minutes each side or until browned and cooked through. Repeat to make a total of 4 pancakes.

Notes

Agave is available in the health food aisle of major supermarkets or health food stores. Substitute agave syrup with pure maple syrup, if you like. You could add your favourite spice, such as cinnamon or mixed spice, to the pancake mix.
