  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups dark buckwheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup whole milk (plus optional 1-2 tablespoons for batter adjustment)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (plus additional for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to remove any clumps and ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mix, add the egg, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until just combined; it’s okay if the batter remains slightly lumpy.
  3. Adjust Batter Consistency: Let the batter sit for 5 minutes. After resting, if the batter appears too thick, incorporate an additional 1-2 tablespoons of milk. If too thin, add extra buckwheat flour within the same range, as flour texture may vary by brand.
  4. Heat Skillet: Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat to warm up for cooking the pancakes.
  5. Prepare Pan: Melt a small pat of butter in the skillet before cooking each pancake. Wipe out excess butter if necessary to prevent burning around the edges.
  6. Cook Pancakes First Side: Using about ⅓ cup of batter per pancake, pour onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form and burst on the surface, edges look set, and the bottom is browned, about up to two minutes depending on heat and pancake thickness.
  7. Cook Pancakes Second Side: Flip the pancakes carefully and cook the other side until lightly browned and fully cooked through the center.
  8. Serve: Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter and serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a sprinkle of confectioner's sugar as desired.

Notes

  • Letting the batter rest improves texture and allows leavening agents to activate.
  • Adjust milk or flour to achieve the desired batter consistency based on buckwheat flour brand variations.
  • Use medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure pancakes cook evenly.
  • Butter the skillet lightly before each pancake to maintain nonstick properties and add flavor.
  • Serve fresh and warm for best taste and texture.
