Fluffy Buckwheat Pancakes

½ c flour

½ c buckwheat flour

1 ½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

1 ½ tsp sugar

½ tsp salt

1 egg separated

1c buttermilk

¼ c water

2tbsp butter, melted

 

In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients.  In a separate bowl, combine the egg yolk, buttermilk, water, and butter.  Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients all at once, stirring just to blend.  In a small bowl, beat the egg white until soft peaks form.  Gently fold egg white into batter. 

 

Note: these are so good! I sprinkle cinnamon and chopped walnuts on them in the first 30sec (on the uncooked side) so it kinda cooks in, then pour a bit of real maple syrup over it when its done.  I believe the pancakes are better if they are about 6in in diameter; something about oversized pancakes makes them taste better to me.

Delicious! I used 1 T of applesauce in place of half the butter and whole-wheat flour instead of buckwheat. The recipe made three plate-size pancakes.
