Buckwheat Pancakes recipe from Dr. Gourmet

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/4 cup champagne (beer will do)
  • 2 Tbsp milk
  • 1/3 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1/3 cup self-rising flour
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 3 tsp butter
  • 2 Tbsp maple syrup

Whisk together the egg yolk, champagne and milk until well blended.

Using a whisk slowly blend in the buckwheat flour, flour and salt until smooth.

Whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the buckwheat batter gently.

Heat a griddle until drops of water dance and evaporate quickly. Melt one teaspoon of the butter on the griddle and then add the batter in 1/3 cup scoops to form four pancakes.

Cook on one side until bubbles form and burst. Turn the pancakes and cook for half the time on the second side and serve topped with the additional butter and maple syrup.
