My favourite food in the world

 



A plate of hot pancakes drizzled with Buckwheat Honey might be the most loved food item of the planet.

Lately, I have been loving breakfast. And by that I mean, lately, I have been loving getting up, making coffee, and whipping up a batch of these pancakes. Making a few (eating the first one I make, hot off the pan!), sticking the rest of the batter in the fridge (it keeps for 3 days!), slathering some homemade peanut butter in the middle of two that made it to the plate, slapping on a few banana slices, topping with the second pancake, a few more sliced bananas and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Did I mention that these are amazing with fresh blueberries and/or strawberries?? Yeah. Done deal, people! Get your spatulas ready, pans hot, and appetite ready. Enjoy!

Note: you can easily double or triple this recipe. This recipe was adapted from the buckwheat pancake recipe in Honey and Spice, my first natural foods cookery book that I snagged from a used book store about 12 years ago! Good stuff…indeed. You can easily make the whole batch in one go, cool pancakes, then wrap and refrigerate for easy breakfasts or snacks. I like to toast mine, and top as desired.

The mystical environment give you the feeling of inner peace, just by being there and breathing in the city!  The holy river Ganga, the Sadhus, the Yoga, the international tourists  that mingle here like locals and the  Hindu mythology ! There is just so much to absorb and imbibe here, that just a day can feel like  a trip of the lifetime . And that’s what I recently did, a one day trip to Rishikesh. And trust me, it was the best!
