Buckwheat pancakes liked by Mojiang folks

The Hani people have always preserved the tradition of growing buckwheat and making “Kuqiao Baba” (buckwheat pancakes) for generations in Mojiang Hani autonomous county, southwest Yunnan’s Pu’er city.

A common grain there, the Tartary buckwheat is often made into wine, flour and pancakes. Kuqiao Baba is a traditional food in Mojiang, carrying locals’ childhood memory about their fore fathers.

The pancake tastes a little bit bitter but a unique fragrance makes the cake smell so good. The cake and homemade honey are a perfect match, indicating that life is bitter-sweet.
