Buckwheat pancakes

60 minutes

Buckwheat pancakes are a unique blend of nutritious buckwheat and the tender texture of traditional American pancakes. Buckwheat, known for its health benefits, makes these pancakes not only filling but also rich in nutty flavor. Natural honey adds a light sweetness, while sea salt enhances the depth of flavor nuances. Inspired by Russian cuisine but adapted to American traditions, these pancakes can be served as a standalone dish for breakfast or a light dinner. They pair wonderfully with yogurt, fresh berries, or an extra drizzle of honey. The simplicity of preparation makes them an ideal choice for a cozy family gathering.
