BUCKwHEAT PANCAKES.
1t seems it is not generally known
that to have good buckwheat pancakes,
it is very important to add Indian corn
meal. Without the meal it is not easy
to make them light and by the time
they are cold they will be about as solid
as piece of tripe. By mixing them
with about one-third Indian meal they
will be very light, very tender, and or IN
digestible after they are cold.
