Description

This buckwheat pancake recipe uses buckwheat flour instead of the wheat-based variety, giving the light and tender pancakes a nutty flavor and hearty texture.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • maple syrup, optional

Directions

  1. Combine first 8 ingredients. Whisk the egg, buttermilk and butter; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  2. Preheat a lightly greased griddle over medium heat. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto griddle; turn when bubbles on top begin to pop. Cook until second side is golden brown. If desired, serve with syrup and additional butter.
