Ingredients for Basic Buckwheat Pancakes

  • 1 ½ cups buckwheat flour
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • Cinnamon
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Egg Substitute
  • Applesauce
  • Water

How to Make Basic Buckwheat Pancakes

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar (if using).
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and melted butter.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat.
  5. Pour ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake.
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip when bubbles start to form on the surface.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
