Ingredients

  • 1 cup Buckwheat Flour
  • 0.75 cup Water
  • 0.25 tsp Salt
  • for frying as needed Oil

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1In a medium bowl, combine the 1 cup of Buckwheat Flour, 0.75 cup of Water, and 0.25 tsp of Salt. Whisk everything together until you have a smooth batter with no lumps. Let this batter rest for 5 minutes.
  2. 2Place a 25.4 cm non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Allow it to heat up for about 2-3 minutes until it is hot.
  3. 3Add a small amount of Oil to the hot pan, just enough to lightly coat the surface. Swirl the pan to spread the oil evenly.
  4. 4Pour about 1/4 cup of the rested batter onto the hot, oiled pan. Immediately tilt and swirl the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle, about 15.24-20.32 cm in diameter.
  5. 5Cook the pancake for 2-3 minutes on the first side. You will see small bubbles forming on the surface, and the edges will start to look set. The underside should be a light golden brown.
  6. 6Carefully flip the pancake using a spatula. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the second side until it is also golden brown and cooked through. The pancake should feel firm to the touch.
  7. 7Remove the cooked pancake from the pan and place it on a plate. Repeat steps 3 through 6 with the remaining batter, adding a little more Oil to the pan between each pancake if needed, until all the batter is used.
