Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk, maple syrup, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine for fluffy pancakes.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- For each pancake, pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter or cooking spray as needed to prevent sticking.
- Serve the buckwheat pancakes warm, topped with your choice of fresh berries, a dollop of yogurt, or a generous drizzle of pure maple syrup.
Tips
- For a touch of sweetness, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
- To make these pancakes even more nutritious, fold in some chopped nuts or seeds into the batter before cooking.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or on the skillet.
