Ingredients

• 1 cup Buckwheat flour
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour (or gluten-free all-purpose blend)
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1.25 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted) or neutral oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 Cooking spray or additional butter/oil (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate medium bowl, beat the egg, then mix in the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray, butter, or oil.

Step 5

Once the skillet is hot, ladle about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake, spacing them apart to avoid spreading into each other.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes with a spatula and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown.

Step 7

Remove the pancakes from the skillet and keep them warm by placing them in a low-temperature oven or covering with a clean kitchen towel while you cook the remaining batter.

Step 8

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