There are a lot of recipes out there that use the nutty texture of this wonderful flour only as an accent rather than the main ingredient. In many ways using it in this way is a bit of a shame.
Buckwheat flour is a wonderful gluten free flour which makes light fluffy pancakes all on its own. The nutty, whole grain taste and texture is something that I find just that little bit special.
My recipe is and adaptation of Buttermilk Buckwheat Pancakes by A Messy Cook
Buckwheat Pancakes
1 1/2 c Buckwheat Flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/8 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tps Clove (scant)
1/8 tsp Nutmeg (scant)
1 egg
1 c Coconut Milk
1 Tbsp Butter (melted)
1/4 c Apple juice Concentrate
1 Lemon (juiced)
Combine dry ingredients in your mixing bowl.
Whisk wet ingredients together to mix thoroughly
Stir wet ingredients into dry. Mix until combined.
Pour batter in small amounts , 1/8-1/4 c, depending on preferred size into a hot frying pan. Then turn when you get a good showing of bubbles on the top of the pancake.
Cook until turned side is a lovely golden brown

ohh yum. Im at work (cough cough) and have had a peice of toast, albeit with home made maramalde for brekky. i love buckwhet pancakes/blini- so tasty. I gorgot my lunch as well! Gonna be a long day. H,mm, buckwheat waffles..ever tried them?
:-) These were consumed with the lemon marmalade from yesterday. I know for me it is pretty solidly marmalade time of year.
Good Luck on the whole surviving the day thing..
Buckwheat waffles, no never tried them. Haven't seen them offered around here anywhere and I haven't been able to self justify a waffle iron to try them at home either. I imagine some good ones just might make me change my mind though.
Kind Regards

I made buckwheat pancakes recently - haven't posted them yet. I loved them, but I like your addition of coconut milk - I bet that adds a lot!
