Trying to stay egg-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free is very challenging, but possible. Yes, once in a while we want those comfort foods that we got used to while growing up. I love pancakes with a tiny amount of maple syrup. Making the recipes that work and that are welcomed by the whole family is also challenging. I messed up quite a few pancakes until I found the perfect ratios for this whole-grain buckwheat recipe.
