I searched and searched for a recipe for pancakes (NOT blinis) made from buckwheat. Eventually I did my own and here is the recipe. It makes a thin pancake like wheat pancakes but with a different texture and a fantastic taste.

7 oz / 175g buckwheat flour
1 oz / 25g spelt flour
2 teaspoons of granulated sugar
Â½ tsp / 2g baking powder
Â¼ tsp / 1g salt (or not as you wish)
1 oz / 25g margarine ( a big blob)
2 eggs
Â½ pint / 400ml milk or water ( you may need to add more)

put the milk and eggs in a blender and mix together (or whisk in a bowl)

mix all the dry ingredients and slowly add them to the liquid whisking as you go.

Leave for half and hour and then whisk again.

Use olive oil and a good hot frying pan, pour a small amount of mixture into the pan, turn the pan to spread it out let it cook and then flip the pancake using a spatula brown on both side and place on a warm plate. Do it again til all the mixture is gone. I have an aga and like to keep the pancakes and plate hot in the bottom oven as i cook.

Excellent with yoghurt and fruit or savouries and better than wheat.
