Recipe Notes

This recipe works best with “hulled” buckwheat flour. The “unhulled” buckwheat flour makes a much more slimy pancake batter and you’ll need more milk. It will also be heavier and darker colored.

If you want less strong buckwheat flavor, you can do half buckwheat, half another flour and adjust the liquid as needed.
