Ingredients

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour

  • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups buttermilk

  • ¼ cup butter, melted

  • 2 large eggs, separated, divided

Directions

  1. Combine buckwheat flour, pastry flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; mix well.

  2. Beat buttermilk, melted butter, and egg yolks together in a separate bowl. Stir in dry ingredients until combined.

  3. Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into the batter, until just blended.

  4. Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches, pour or ladle 1/4 cup batter onto the heated surface for each pancake. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Cook's Note:

You can use all-purpose flour in place of pastry flour, if you'd like.
