DADS BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine milk, oil, buttermilk, eggs and honey in a large mixing bowl. Blend them completely and set aside. In another medium-sized bowl, mix all the dry ingredients including baking powder, buckwheat flour, wheat flour salt and baking soda and mix well. Combine the dry ingredients in the large bowl containing wet ingredients and stir till all are fully mixed. Fold in a cup of blueberries and keep aside.
• Heat a non-stick skillet on a low to medium flame and spread ¼ cup of pancake batter into it. Within 1 ½ minutes, bubbles will start forming on the upper side. When this happens, check by lifting one side of the pancake to see whether the other side has become brown, and then turn it over to the other side. Cook the other side of the pancake for the same time and when it turns golden brown in color, transfer into a plate and serve with the remaining blueberries, butter, and buckwheat honey or maple syrup.

BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Make a well in center; add eggs, butter, buttermilk, and vanilla. Whisk until just combined but still lumpy (do not overmix). Let stand 15 minutes.
• Preheat a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet or griddle over medium. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon oil; wipe with a paper towel to leave a thin film. Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto skillet, leaving 1 inch between each. Cook until bubbly on top and golden on bottom, and beginning to lift from skillet along bottom edges, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook on other side until golden on bottom, puffed, and just cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with a wire rack; keep warm in oven on low heat until ready to serve. Serve with butter and syrup.

DAD'S BUCKWHEAT AND OATFLOUR PANCAKES

Steps:

• Grind dry oatmeal into a flour in a blender on high setting or in food processor until powdery and the larger chunks are gone.
• Mix dry ingredients in mixing bowl. Add wet ingredients. Blend well by hand with a spoon.
• Depending on the grains, you may need to add an extra half-cup of milk or water until the batter is pourable, but still thick.
• The batter may benefit from sitting for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid. Resting the batter also allows it to rise a little. This is optional.
• Pour onto an oiled griddle and cook well on both sides until a golden brown.
• Serve while hot.

BUCKWHEAT CRêPE MADAMES

Steps:

• Mix the flour, 1 egg, the milk and a pinch of salt in a jug or bowl. Set aside for 30 mins, or up to 3 hrs. Mash together the mustard, cream and cheese in another bowl. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6, and line two baking trays with baking parchment or foil.
• Melt the butter in a large frying pan, then once foaming, add enough batter to just cover the pan, swirling it to cover the surface in a thin layer (pour any excess back into the batter bowl). Cook until the surface is set and the underside is browning, carefully flip and cook for another minute or 2, then take off the heat.
• Spoon a quarter of the cheese mixture onto the middle of the pancake, using the spoon to create space in the centre to hold an egg. Crack one into the space and lay a few pieces of ham around the edges. Fold each side of the pancake in towards the centre to make a square. Cook in the pan for another 30 secs-1 min, then transfer to a baking tray. Repeat with the rest of the pancakes, then bake for 6-7 mins until the egg whites are set. Serve with fried mushrooms or wilted spinach, if you like.

DAD'S DOUBLE WHOLE GRAIN PANCAKES

• In a large bowl, sift all-purpose flour, milk powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir in whole wheat flour. In a small bowl, combine sugar, eggs, water, butter and vinegar. Make a well in the flour mixture, and pour in the egg mixture. Mix until smooth.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.

BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the plain flour, buckwheat flour, sugar, ½ tsp salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl. Combine the melted butter, eggs and buttermilk in a jug and whisk to combine. Stir the wet ingredients slowly into the dry ingredients until combined, to make a thick batter.
• Heat a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and brush with a light layer of vegetable oil. Add a few heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the pan and form into a circle. If your pan is large enough you can do 2-3 at a time, just don't overcrowd the pan too. Once the edges are set and bubbles appear on the surface (around 2-3 mins) flip and cook for a further 2 mins. The pancakes should be a deep golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a warm oven on low and repeat the process until the batter is all used.
• Serve stacked with fresh blueberries and maple syrup drizzled generously over the top.
