buckwheat pancakes, eh? Gonna have to try 'em ^^

This weekend I plan to go crazy with kefir recipes... one of them will be buckwheat kefir pancakes and I hope they come out good! Kefir is awesome for soaking flour.

You are supposed to be inventing gluten free Swedish pancakes.

Don't you worry, I didn't forget! I shall perfect the swedish pancake.... despite the fact I don't think I'm Swedish at all.

Gluten-Free Swedish Pancakes (or crepes)

4 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup oat flour
1 T sweetener of your choice (stevia, maple syrup, honey..)
a pinch of salt
2 T melted butter

Get an electric skillet warmed up to medium low/medium heat. In a mixing bowl, whisk your eggs. Then mix in remaining ingredients. Pour a thin layer of batter onto the skillet, seriously, thin. You may need to spread it a little bit if it doesn't spread on its own. When the top stars looking dry, which will be within 2 minutes, cut your pancake into 2-4 smaller pieces and then flip. Let them finish cooking for another couple of minutes or when they're golden brown. Roll em up and serve.

Notes: I used rolled oats which I ground up into flour and then soaked for 24 hrs in kefir. This results in a wet, fluffy flour. I used slightly less milk because of this, maybe 2 T less than what I wrote above. I used raw milk, but I think coconut milk would work just as well if you don't mind the slight coconut flavor. I also think you could use any other finely ground flour of your choice. I almost added an extra egg... you could do this if your pancakes aren't holding together well.

Toppings to try: fresh berries, fresh whipped cream, sauteed apples or pears and cinnamon, butter, maple syrup, jam. It's really good to roll up whatever you pick inside the pancake.
