Pancake Batter

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

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

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, mix the milk, egg, and melted butter until smoothly combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Heat the Griddle

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

  5. 5

    Cook the Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
