Best Buckwheat Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 cup buckwheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: buckwheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, milk, honey, butter, and vanilla extract.
3. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking to combine.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease the skillet with butter or cooking spray.
5. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter onto the skillet, spreading evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and bubbles begin to form on the surface.
6. Carefully flip the pancake and cook for 1-2 minutes more, until the pancake is cooked through.
7. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve pancakes warm, with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
