Buckwheat Pancakes

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil to coat pan
• ¼ cup buckwheat flour
• ½ cup all purpose flour
• 1 ½ tbsp sugar
• ¼ tsp salt
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 1 ½ tbsp unsalted butter melted
• 1 egg
• 1 cup buttermilk (or 2/3 cup yogurt + ½ cup milk)

Instructions

Heat a well seasoned grill, cast iron skillet or stick free pan on medium heat – Should be ready for the batter as soon as it is mixed

Whisk together the dry ingredients – flours, sugar, salt, baking soda – in a large bowl. 

Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and start stirring. 

Beat the egg with a fork and stir it into the buttermilk.  Slowly add the buttermilk/egg mixture to the dry ingredients as needed to get the right consistency.

Stir only until everything is combined.  Do not over mix, a few lumps are fine.

Griddle should be medium hot, but not as hot as for regular pancakes.

Spoon onto medium hot griddle or pan. 

Pancakes take a while to cook, but turn promptly because they burn easily.

Serve with Maple Syrup and fresh fruit
