MOM'S BUCKWHEAT CAKES

Continuing with my comfort food theme, buckwheat cakes are one of my ultimate comfort foods.  My Mom always made the best buckwheat cakes and she passed her recipe on to me.  I have lots of anecdotes about the challenges I've faced while making them, but I’ll just get on with the recipe.  I'm certain you will love it!
