Chia Seed And Buckwheat Pancakes

• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons canola or other neutral oil
• 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
• 1/2 cup white flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 pinch salt
• butter for cooking the pancakes

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chia seeds with the buttermilk. If you'd like the seeds to be very soft, you can soak them in the buttermilk overnight, but they will soften up quite nicely in about ten minutes (about the time it takes from starting the batter to making your first pancakes). Mix in the eggs and canola oil.
2. In a separate bowl, mix together the remaining dry ingredients. Then gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until they are just combined.
3. Heat a griddle or large skillet (I prefer cast iron) over medium heat. Melt a small pad of butter to grease the surface. Spoon out dollops of batter with a soup spoon and allow to cook until the batter loses some of its raw pale color and bubbles stay fixed. Flip with a spatula and cook for a minute on the other side. Both sides should be nicely browned. Transfer to a warm plate, and cook the rest of the batter. Enjoy with fruit toppings and maple syrup.
