My mother always made buckwheat pancakes (we all called them hot cakes) and it would be a wonderful dinner once a week. When my kids were little, there was a buckwheat pancake mix that I used (think 40 years ago) and recently, I decided that I was going to make some buckwheat pancakes. I struck out at 3 different supermarkets near me. Do any of you remember how good buckwheat tastes? I understand now it is in demand because it is much closer to the original wheat of our ancestors. If any of you knows that there is a buckwheat product remotely resembling what I am looking for could you tell me about it? or do any of you know if I can buy buckwheat flour? I appreciate all help.

Hi raider .....I know I've seen "Bobs red mill" brand buck wheat flour in W mart, and different grocery chains ...yummmm...I love buckwheat hot cakes too !!! Haven't had them in a loooong time . Now I will be craving them (:

Thanks, Az, I have been craving them for weeks. I have heard of Bobs red mill but I don't have a W mart around me. I will do an internet search now that I know I can find it. What happened to all of the really good buckwheat pancake mixes in boxes?

Oh, remember aunt Gemima Buckwheat pancake mix with her picture on the front holding that big stack of steaming hot cakes with the pat of butter melting off ??? Now I'm drooling (:

You two are making me want to go out for breakfast. I can get Bob's Red Mill in Wh Foods, both the regular flour and the actual buckwheat pancake mix. I agree that they are the best pancakes!!! I haven't checked their website but I've been to SF many times and I know I've been to a Wh Foods. If you don't have one near you, you might try any health food store. Hope you find it.

Yum

Buckwheat is not a wheat, you could look for blini pancake mix same thing. I love it

That's what my dad loved, so that's what my mom used! (with real butter and real Log Cabin maple syrup)!

Thanks for the Whole Foods tip. We have one a couple of miles from us. I'm on my way!
