About 12 pancakes

3-4 Servings

INGREDIENTS:

Coulis:

2 cups Straberries

2-3 Tbsp Maple Sugar/Syrup

1 pinch Sea Salt

1 squeeze Lemon juice (1 tsp)

Pancakes:

1 1/2 cups Buckwheat flour

2 Tbsp ground Flax seeds

2 tsp Cinnamon

1 Tbsp Baking Powder

1/2 tsp Sea Salt

1 Tbsp Lemon juice

1 -2 cups unsweetened Nondairy Milk 

1 tsp Vanilla extract

3 tbsp Coconut Sugar/Maple syrup

Powdered sugar for serving

Maple Syrup for serving

DIRECTIONS:

Coulis: 

Wash and drain the strawberries. Reserve a few for garnishing. Dice the rest of the berries and place them in a bowl. Mash slightly with a fork and stir in the salt, maple sugar/syrup and lemon. Mix well and reserve.

Pancakes:

Whisk together the lemon juice, 1 cup of milk, vanilla and coconut sugar or maple syrup in a bowl. Set aside.

Combine the flour, flax seeds, baking powder, salt and cinnamon together in a mixing bowl. 

Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and gently stir together just until combined adding the rest of the milk as needed to get a thick but pourable batter. Let the batter rest for about 10-15 minutes. If batter is very thick, a little more milk or water maybe added.

Lightly coat a non-stick skillet with a little oil using a paper towel. Heat the skillet over medium heat.

Prepare pancakes by pouring about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet; you can quickly spread the batter gently in a swirling motion with the back of  a spoon to desired thickness.

Cook until bubbles appear and burst all over each pancake and the edges lift up slightly. Flip the pancakes and cook for another minute. Remove the pancake from skillet and place on platter.

Continue cooking the pancakes until all the batter is used stacking the pancakes as they are cooked.

Serve the pancakes hot with some of the coulis on top. Dust with powdered sugar. Drizzle a little maple syrup over the pancakes.

Enjoy!!
