Best Buckwheat Pancakes

These griddle cakes are a vintage Best Buckwheat Pancake recipe mom made when I was a kid and have very fond memories of eating these for breakfast on the weekend.

These all-made-from-scratch buckwheat pancakes are much heartier than just regular all-purpose flour these have a combination of both with a nutty taste to them

This basic buckwheat pancake batter is perfectly served plain or with any fruit on top and of course good old traditional butter with maple syrup on top.

The best part of making these from scratch is they really are quick and easy with a lighter texture than any boxed brands.

Two bowls with separate dry and wet ingredients, mixed with buttermilk and griddled to perfection, just watch for the bubbles on top before flipping them.

Try adding some fruit to the batter if you like whole red raspberries, chopped cherries, or even dried raisins and cranberries to have a variety.

We love this recipe and big breakfast, sometimes these accompany Baked Pancake Casserole or our Simple Baked Bacon and Egg Cupcake Quiche the kids absolutely love both, and if you're not in a hurry try our Simple Homemade Pork Breakfast Sausages!

Buckwheat

The flavor is rich and nutty and works great when making muffins, and quick bread so if you were wondering what to do with all that buckwheat left besides pancakes, it's a versatile flour to use.

It’s also much darker in appearance than plain flour (or even whole wheat) flour.

Remembering the good old days in every bite is a great way to reminisce about mom's recipes for breakfast and this is one of them.

You can still have those good feelings while enjoying our buckwheat pancakes, and sure to bring smiles and maybe some tears when remembering those days.
