Author Notes: Whole soaked buckwheat is the secret to these fluffy pancakes! I find that the whole grains work better than buckwheat flour, and soaking them overnight makes them more digestible too! This the base pancake recipe is a take on Chris Kresser’s, which can be found here: http://chriskresser.com/sourdough-buckwheat-pancakes-now-theyre-even-fluffier. —Betacyanin
Serves: 2
Ingredients
Buckwheat Pancakes
-
1
cup raw buckwheat
-
1/2
cup kefir or full fat yogurt
-
1
teaspoon cinnamon
-
1/2
teaspoon ginger powder
-
1/2
teaspoon salt
-
1/4
teaspoon ground cloves
-
2
eggs
-
1/2
teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2
pear
Honey-Orange Topping
-
1
orange
-
2
tablespoons honey
Directions
- Cover the buckwheat with plenty of water and soak overnight (or at least 4 hours)
- Prepare the topping – zest the orange, remove the peel and segment it with a sharp knife, then squeeze the remains to extract the juice.
- Set the segments aside and combine the honey with the zest and juice to make the syrup.
- To start preparing the pancakes, drain the buckwheat and rinse it well.
- In a food processor, combine the buckwheat, kefir, spices, and salt, and process until smooth.
- Add the eggs and pulse a few times, followed by the baking soda (I like to add this right before frying)
- Serve warm with oranges and syrup.
