The inspiration for this recipe came from my good friend Kate. When my family and I were staying at her place in the Dandenongs she made us buckwheat pancakes for breakfast one Sunday morning. I am always on the look out for more wheat free recipes and this one fast become a firm favourite.

I love this recipe because it is gluten, dairy and sugar free.  It's also super tasty and very easy to make.  The coconut used for frying has a much higher smoke point than olive oil or butter and has all the goodness of coconut.
