I love the taste of buckwheat…
but I love the fluffiness of my usual pancakes…
In the past, my attempts at buckwheat pancakes with the recipes that I have found, have always made for dense chewy pancakes which I just don’t enjoy…
This weekend at the grocery store my eye landed on some local buckwheat flour and I just knew that I needed to try again…
This time I just adapted my usual recipe and what I ended up with were perfectly fluffy and delicious buckwheat pancakes that the kids and I loved!
so…
mix 2 eggs, 2 1/2 cups of milk, 2 tbsp of brown sugar, 1 mashed banana and 2 tsp of vanilla in a large bowl…
and in another bowl mix 3/4 cup of flour with 2 cups of buckwheat flour, 3 tsp of baking powder and a 1/2 tsp salt…
add the dry to the wet but don’t overmix…
Add more milk of too thick (or more flour if too thin)…. (it really depends on the humidity of the flour etc)
So did you have them for dinner or for brekke? I too like buckwheat but on it’s own it’s a bit harsh sometimes. We tried a gf buckwheat scone and it was just barely palatable. On the other hand, 100% buckwheat soba noodles are my favourite kind of pasta. I’m going to have a lot of pancake variations to try this weekend! Thanks for sharing.
This was a breakfast that we had this week… I try to make something different everyday and something filling because we don’t usually eat a big lunch…
these were perfect!
Oh, those look soooo good!
these look yummy! i love buckwheat pancakes too!!
I’ve found that buttermilk really helps to make my pancakes fluffy. I’ve made my own but the stuff at the store works better. I also think I tend to overmix my batter. I love buckwheat pancakes too. So yummy.
