Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk together until well mixed.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter until well combined.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  2. 4

    Preheat Pan

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.

  3. 5

    Cook Pancakes

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

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup drizzled on top and fresh fruit, if desired.
