Ingredients

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. ground Himalayan pink salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk see Recipe
  • 1 large room temperature free-range egg, beaten
  • 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp. butter, or as needed and divided

Directions

  • In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon and salt; whisk well and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, add buttermilk, beaten egg and vanilla extract. Whisk until blended.
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Whisk until the batter is smooth. Allow the mixture to rest for 15 minutes.
  • On a griddle or a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp. butter and when melted, drop about ¼ cup of batter.
  • Cook until golden brown and small bubbles form on top of pancakes and the edges are getting dry, about 3:30 to 4 minutes.
  • Flip pancakes and cook for a little less, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer them to a warm plate while repeating the process by melting another tablespoon of butter and then cooking the remaining batter.
  • Serve pancakes with a dollop of butter, maple syrup and berries.
