Ingredients

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 2 large egg
  • 1.5 cups milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a blender, combine 1 cup buckwheat flour, 2 eggs, 1.5 cups milk, and 0.5 tsp salt. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds. The batter should be thin, like heavy cream.

  2. 2

    Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp butter. Pour in 1/4 cup of batter, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.

  3. 3

    Cook until the edges lift and the bottom is golden, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more butter as needed.

  4. 4

    Serve warm, dusted with 2 tbsp powdered sugar and topped with grated carrots, chopped hazelnuts, or dried flowers if desired.
