- 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
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.

- 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.
