Equipment

  • 1 Kitchen Scale
  • 1 Grain Mill optional for fresh-milled buckwheat flour

Ingredients

  • 120 g buckwheat groats or flour
  • 100 g active sourdough starter
  • 210 g buttermilk
  • 14 g maple sugar or cane sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 g salt
  • 28 g butter, melted plus more for cooking the pancakes

Instructions

  • The night before you want to make pancakes, mill the buckwheat groats on the finest setting of your grain mill (if using store bought flour, start with step two)
  • To a medium mixing bowl, add the starter, buttermilk, and sugar. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the flour to the wet ingredients and stir until no dry flour remains in the bowl. Cover and let sit at room temperature overnight.
  • The next morning, add the egg, baking soda, salt, and butter. Whisk to fully combine. Cover and let rest while the pan heats up.
  • Heat a small cast iron skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot add a tablespoon of butter to the pan, and then scoop 1/3 cup of the pancake batter into the pan. Once you see bubbles and browning around the sides of the pancake, flip it and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Repeat for the remaining pancakes.
  • Serve warm with maple syrup if desired.

Notes

  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for large family breakfasts
  • Storage - for best results, freeze the pancakes after they cool. Place the pancakes on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for several hours. Then transfer them to a freezer bag for long term storage. Reheat at 325 degrees F for 10 minutes.
