Ingredients

• 1 cup Buckwheat flour
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1.25 cups Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
• 1 tablespoon Butter or oil
• 1 as needed Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.

Step 4

Melt the butter (or oil) over low heat and stir it into the batter.

Step 5

Preheat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.

Step 6

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the skillet for each pancake, leaving some space between them to spread.

Step 7

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip them carefully and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, nuts, or yogurt.
