Buckwheat Pancakes for 8

Ingredients and Weight:

• 2 cups whole buckwheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

Preparation Time:

10 minutes

Cooking Time:

20 minutes

Difficulty Level:

2/5 (Easy)

Preparation Method Steps:

1. In a large bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and maple syrup.
3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this will result in tough pancakes.
4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes. This will allow the buckwheat flour to absorb the liquid and develop its full flavor.
5. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or skillet over medium heat. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle.
6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
