Ingredients
3/4 cup (100g) buckwheat flour
3/4 cup (100g) all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg, optional
Up to 2 cups (475 ml) buttermilk
3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
Vegetable oil for coating the pan
Directions
Preheat a well-seasoned griddle, cast iron skillet, or non-stick pan over medium heat. The pan should be ready for the batter as soon as it is mixed.
In a large bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
Beat the egg with a fork and mix it with half of the buttermilk. Add the melted butter and stir to combine.
Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, then slowly pour in more buttermilk as needed to achieve a thick but pourable batter. Avoid over-mixing; a few lumps are fine.
Lightly coat the pan with 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil, spreading it with a paper towel.
Ladle the batter onto the hot surface to your desired size, approximately 4 to 5 inches wide. Use about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake. Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form at the center. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until nicely browned.
Keep cooked pancakes warm in an oven set to "warm," or stack them on a plate and cover with a towel. Reapply oil between batches as needed.
Serve warm with butter and maple syrup.
