Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups buckwheat groats (raw, not toasted)
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup yogurt or kefir (for soaking with water and groats)
- 2 cups fresh yogurt or kefir
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk (or water, optional based on thickness desired)
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp real salt
Instructions
- Place the buckwheat groats, 4 cups water, and 1/2 cup yogurt/kefir in a bowl and soak for 12 – 24 hours at room temperature
- When you are ready to prepare your pancake batter, rinse the buckwheat
- Put remaining ingredients, and rinsed buckwheat, minus baking soda, into blender or food processor (I use a Vitamix)
- Blend until smooth
- Warm up your cast iron pan or waffle maker
- Transfer batter into a bowl and gently mix baking soda in (careful, it will rise!)
- When pan or waffle maker is hot, add a generous amount of fat (ghee, coconut oil, butter) to the pan
- Ladle your batter into the pan or waffle maker, cooking mostly through before flipping
- Top with your favorite toppings (whipped cream, berries, applesauce, butter, etc.) and enjoy!
