Ingredients

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour see Notes
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp sugar (I use cane sugar)
  • 1 ¼ cup 'butter'milk see Notes
  • 1 egg (1/4 cup applesauce also works)
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Begin by heating a large, non-stick skillet over low heat.
  • In a large bowl mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar).
  • For the 'butter'milk, add one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to a measuring cup, then add in enough milk of your choice to equal 1 1/4 cups.
  • Whisk in the egg (or applesauce) and vanilla with the milk mixture.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add in the milk/egg mixture.
  • Whisk until smooth. It will seem too thin at first, but it will gradually thicken up.
  • Add a pat of butter or coconut oil to the warm pan and increase the heat to medium.
  • Once you see tiny bubbles form in the skillet, begin dolloping in the pancake batter (about 1/4 cup for each pancake).
  • Cook on the first side until the perimeter of the pancake begins to set and you see bubbles form.
  • Flip the pancake and cook another 20-30 seconds.
  • Repeat with the remaining batter until done.
