🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 1 cup Buckwheat flour
• 1 cup All-purpose gluten-free flour (or regular flour, if not gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter or coconut oil (melted)
• 1 as needed Additional butter or oil (for greasing the pan)

📝 Instructions

8 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, gluten-free flour, sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Whisk the dry ingredients together until evenly combined.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, vanilla extract, and melted butter (or coconut oil).

3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are okay.

4. Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter or oil.

5. For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if necessary.

6. 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 an additional 1-2 minutes, or until both sides are golden brown.

7. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.

8. Serve the pancakes warm, topped with your favorite toppings like maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a dollop of yogurt. Enjoy!
