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, depending on consistency.
3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
Vegetable oil for coating the pan
Directions
Heat a well-seasoned griddle, cast iron skillet, or stick-free pan on medium heat.
The pan or griddle should be ready for the batter as soon as it is mixed.
 
Whisk together the dry ingredients—the flours, sugar, salt, baking soda—in a large bowl.
Beat the egg with a fork and stir it into half of the buttermilk.
Add the melted butter and stir.
Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, then slowly add more buttermilk as needed to get a thick but pourable consistency for your batter.
Stir only until everything is combined. Do not over-mix! A few lumps are fine.
 
Put a small amount (1/2 teaspoon) of vegetable oil on the pan or griddle and spread it around with a paper towel to coat.
Ladle the batter onto the hot surface to the desired size, about 4 to 5 inches wide.
Reduce the heat to medium-low.
Allow the pancake to cook for 2 to 3 minutes on this first side.
When air bubbles start to rise and pop on the surface at the center of the pancake, flip the pancake.
Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, or until nicely browned.
 
Serve with butter and hot maple syrup. HOT maple syrup can make or break a pancake!

💬 Uncle Dave says...
LOOK AT THE TOP TO SEE THE "BLURB" BY AI ⬆️
Yes, I have three identical recipes for Buckwheat Pancakes. And here is why.
I have semi-automated the way I can add recipes to the website using AI, or in this case, three AIs: Claude, Gemini, & ChatGPT.
All three of them have project files with instructions on how to process the recipe data.
If someone sends me a recipe, or I see one I like online*, I can enter the recipe name, ingredients, and cooking instructions into any one of the three AIs' chat boxes.
I have given the AIs instructions to properly format those three things, and to extrapolate a few things on their own: keywords to use, serving sizes, and what I call the "blurb", which is the hopefully appealing description of the recipe that you see at the top of the page. Along with some other internal data that is preprogrammed into the instructions. the AI then presents the results in a way that allows me to paste everything into the recipe database in one big block.
So why are there three of the same one? I wanted to see how each AI handled them.
The Results:
1) Blurbs - some were better than others. Claude is the best. It makes the recipe sound appealing and fun. ChatGPT is the worst; too short for one thing.
2) Serving sizes - all reasonably close to the same. Again, I like the way Claude worded it the best.**
3) Keywords - all three picked the exact same four keywords!
* Before anyone gets all worked up, recipe ingredients and cooking directions are not copyrightable. Having said that, the AIs have been instructed to remove anything that personalizes a recipe, such as, "My granny used 3 cups, but I only use 2 3/4." And I manually change the name of a recipe when I give it to the AI if I think it needs to be made more generic.
** I discovered recently that many of the recipes had nothing in the serving size or said things like "Unknown" "Serves Many" or just "Serves". I put Claude AI to work on those. Many of the more verbose "Serving Size" entries are Claude's.

Unless you failed the "I'm not a robot" test, your recipes will probably not look like the ones in the pictures. See Creamy Turkey Veggie Soup to read more about AI images.
