I decided to make buckwheat pancakes for a few reasons: I get lots of requests for anything breakfast, I'm trying to cook with more whole grains, and I heard someone say it's almost impossible to make a great pancake using 100% buckwheat flour.

Time 13m

Yield 14-16 pancakes, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup buckwheat flour
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/4 cups milk
2 egg whites
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder, salt and sugar.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in the milk, egg whites and melted butter.
  • Mix until smooth.
  • Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat.
  • Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake.
  • Brown on both sides and serve hot with syrup or honey.
  • It's possible to prepare batter the night before and refrigerate it covered overnight.

Tips:

- To ensure fluffy pancakes every time, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing them together. This will help them incorporate smoothly and evenly. - Buttermilk is a key ingredient in these pancakes as it adds a slight tanginess and helps keep them moist and fluffy. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make a substitution by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense pancakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and no large lumps remain. - Use a nonstick griddle or pan to cook the pancakes. This will prevent them from sticking and breaking apart. - Cook the pancakes over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the pancakes will burn before they have a chance to cook through. - Flip the pancakes only once. Flipping them too often can make them tough. - Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.

Conclusion:

These buckwheat pancakes are a delicious and nutritious breakfast option that is sure to please everyone at the table. They are light and fluffy, with a slightly tangy flavor from the buttermilk. They are also packed with fiber and protein, making them a filling and satisfying meal. Whether you are looking for a classic breakfast recipe or something new and exciting to try, these buckwheat pancakes are a great choice.
