Ingredients

• 1 cup Buckwheat flour
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Buttermilk
• 1 whole Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or additional butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth and cohesive.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, gently stirring with a spatula just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the ingredients to fully hydrate and the baking powder to activate.

Step 5

Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with vegetable oil or butter.

Step 6

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the pancake batter onto the hot skillet, spacing each pancake at least 2 inches apart.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 9

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