Nutrition per serving (estimate)

Why we like it

Despite its name, buckwheat is not wheat; it is a seed with an earthy, nutty flavor that pairs well with berries, banana and maple syrup. The batter comes together in minutes.

Ingredients

• 100g buckwheat flour
• 1 egg
• 200ml milk
• 1 tbsp honey
• ½ tsp vanilla
• ½ tsp baking powder
• Pinch salt
• 1 tbsp butter
• Toppings: berries, maple syrup, banana

Method

1. Whisk egg, milk, honey and vanilla together.
2. Stir in buckwheat flour, baking powder and salt.
3. Rest batter 5 minutes — it thickens slightly.
4. Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
5. Pour batter in small rounds — about 3 tbsp each.
6. Cook 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear and edges set.
7. Flip and cook 1-2 minutes more.
8. Stack and serve immediately with berries and maple syrup.
