Can delicious crepes create a buckwheat revival?

[Amby 490]

My cousin eats a gluten-free diet. I will email her to see if she has made bucketwheat bread. Now I'm curious.

If you find any good recipes, please post 'em right in this thread.

Will do!

I know my cousin usually buys this baking mix or different flours together to do all her baking. There's a gluten-free bakery in Denver that sells this mixture of rice flour, buckwheat flour, etc. Last year she made tons of gluten-free cookies for Christmas and they weren't too bad.

Have you heard of Ezekiel bread? Trader Joe's sells it. I believe that are all gluten-free breads.

Did someone say Buckwheat revival?

Thought the same thing.

Didn't know about the phony Buckwheat story though.

In 1990, the ABC newsmagazine 20/20 aired a segment purporting to be an interview with Buckwheat, now a downtrodden minimum wage grocery bagger in Arizona. However, the interview was actually with a man named Bill English, who had made a career of claiming to be the adult Buckwheat. By the next week, 20/20 had learned of their error (George "Spanky" McFarland personally contacted the media following the broadcast), that the true Buckwheat had been dead for 10 years, and admitted their mistake on-air. Fallout from this incident included the resignation of a 20/20 producer, and a negligence lawsuit filed by the son of William Thomas

I love this stuff. Every Russian grocery store sells it, but it's really hard to find here. I haven't ever baked with it. Just boil. It's delicious.

Blini's aka Russian crepes are made from buckwheat. Whole Foods has buckwheat.
