How to Make German Buckwheat Pancakes
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- Add the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk until just combined; do not overmix.
- Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the buckwheat to absorb the liquid and helps create a better texture.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large frying pan over medium heat.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot griddle for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately with your choice of toppings. Traditional options include apple butter, golden syrup, and pumpernickel bread. For a unique twist, try a side of green salad, fried onions, and red currant jelly!
- Enjoy your delicious and authentic German Buckwheat Pancakes!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
