Hemp Pancakes (recipe) Not Just for Breakfast anymore!

Hemp Recipe for Pancakes

Pancakes - just the thought brings breakfast to mind.  

By definition pancakes are defined by Wikipedia as:

A pancake is a flat cake, often thin, flat, and round, prepared from a starch-based batter and cooked on a hot surface such as a griddle or frying pan. In Britain, pancakes are often unleavened, and resemble a crêpe.

No where in that definition does it state breakfast or what time of day this food item should be eaten.
Personally I like to shake things up a bit and serve pancakes for dinner!  I have yet to have anyone turn away, unless of course they have came by after stopping somewhere else to eat.  Even then, the thought of hot, fluffy, syrup covered pancakes, persuade even my fullest guest to indulge a little more.

I have found a great delicious Hemp pancake recipe which is also soy and gluten free!

I hope you will take my lead and try these, if not for dinner, maybe by starting your day. with the wonderful mouth watering aroma only this great anytime pancake recipe can produce.
