Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 c buckwheat flour
3/4 c pastry flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp fine sea salt or table salt will do in a pinch
2 1/2 Tbsp brown sugar or granulated sugar
2 1/2 Tbsp melted shortening or butter
1 1/4 c dairy buttermilk or sour milk
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • 1. Sift together dry ingredients. Beat eggs, add buttermilk and shortening, then add to dry ingredients gradually, beating until smooth. Let set for 10 minutes.
  • 2. Pour about 1/4 cup batter into a hot greased griddle(or waffle iron) and cook until the top is full of tiny bubbles and the underside is brown. Turn and brown on other side. Serve with your favorite blueberry syrup or hot Maple cinnamon syrup and lots of melted butter..mMMmmm

Tips:

  • Use fresh buckwheat flour: Fresh buckwheat flour will give your pancakes a better flavor and texture.
  • Let the batter rest: Letting the batter rest for at least 30 minutes will allow the buckwheat flour to absorb the liquid and produce a more tender pancake.
  • Use a hot griddle: A hot griddle will help to create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough pancakes.
  • Serve immediately: Buckwheat pancakes are best served immediately after they are cooked.
