Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup buckwheat flour, 0.5 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoon salt.

  2. Step 2

    In a separate bowl, beat 1 large egg, then whisk in 1.25 cups milk and 1 tablespoon melted butter until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir until just combined; the batter should be slightly lumpy. Let it rest for 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt a little butter. Pour 0.25 cup batter per pancake and cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.

  6. Step 6

    In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons brown sugar with 1 tablespoon softened butter and a pinch of salt until crumbly. Sprinkle over warm pancakes before serving.
