For extra fluffy pancakes, separate the egg and whisk the egg white until stiff peaks form. Gently fold it into the batter just before cooking. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 1/4 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar to a liquid measuring cup, then filling it with milk to reach the 1 1/4 cup mark. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Don't overcrowd the griddle; cook the pancakes in batches to maintain the heat and prevent them from sticking together. Buckwheat flour can vary in coarseness. If your batter seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk until it reaches the desired consistency.

Oct 29, 2022These pancakes are surprisingly good! I was skeptical about using 100% buckwheat flour, but they turned out light and fluffy.
