Course: Main Course
Cuisine: French
Servings: 8 -10 pancakes
- 160 g Buckwheat Flour 5.5 oz
- 20 g Olive oil 1 Tbsp
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 400 ml Water 1 3/4 cups
Put the flour and salt in a bowl.
Add the eggs and oil.
Whisk while pouring the water into the bowl in a steady stream. After adding half the water, whisk the batter well until all the lumps disappear, then continue to add water while whisking. the amount of water I have given is approximate. Keep adding water until the batter is very runny: runnier than honey, but not as runny as water alone.
Leave the batter to sit for at least 30 minutes, You can make it the night before and store it in the fridge until needed.
To Cook The Buckwheat Pancakes:
Heat a round crepe pan (a frying pan with very low sides)
Brush the pan with a little olive oil.
Either use a ladle, or pour the batter directly from the bowl (if you are feeling brave!), holding the pan in one hand and the batter ladle/bowl in the other. Tip the pan gently from side to side to cover the bottom of the pan.
Place back on the heat and wait until the edges start to lift and the batter sets.
Gently slide a wooden spatula underneath the pancake and slip it onto a plate.
The pancakes can be stored on the plate in the fridge for up to 3 days if covered well with cling-film.
