Nut Free with Buckwheat

The buckwheat that’s used in this recipe provides a nice crunch and a nutty flavor – so much like pecans that you won’t really miss the nuts at all.

The inspiration for using buckwheat in pancakes as a nut replacement came to me from Melissa Richardson in her book The Art of Baking with Natural Yeast. I used her Banana Buckwheat Pancakes recipe and tweaked it just a little, adding the blueberry topping.

When I lived in Russia, we ate hot buckwheat cereal for breakfast like we eat oatmeal in the States. It has such a rich flavor that I enjoyed, but I haven’t been able to get my kids to eat it.

However, the kids LOVED these pancakes. So much so that my son volunteered to make more the next day.

Buckwheat is a really versatile little seed, so popping it into this recipe was easy to do with Melissa’s instructions.

In her book, Melissa teaches:

Did you know that buckwheat is not a grain? It’s actually a fruit seed related to rhubarb and sorrel….For extra crispiness, toast the buckwheat under the broiler in a pan or on a cookie sheet until lightly brown before adding them to the batter. You can also omit them from the batter and toast them to be sprinkled on top as a garnish.

  • Pan fry as you would normal pancakes.

Instructions for Blueberry Sauce

  • place blueberries into a medium sized sauce pan.  Sprinkle corn starch over berries and toss to coat.
  • Add sugar and mix.
  • Add butter and the remaining ingredients.

Flat Flapjacks Vs. Sourdough Pancakes

If you prefer the flatter, crispy-edged pancakes that are typical of sourdough, then omit the baking soda and powder.

If you MUST have your pancakes fluffy, we sympathize, and recommend you use the soda and powder.

Either way, you’ll have a fabulous breakfast.

The best books I’ve ever used for real, sourdough cooking are those written by Melissa Richardson, with my favorite being Beyond Basics with Natural Yeast. Many cookbooks will have sourdough AND yeast in their recipes for sourdough breads and treats. Melissa’s are the real deal – no commercial yeast, delicious recipes, lots of troubleshooting advice.

I love her books so much that, not only did I quote her several times in my own book, The Do It Yourself Homestead, but I also added her titles to my extensive list of homesteading resources. To learn more about The Do It Yourself Homestead, which includes a discussion in our kitchen chapter about sourdough and other ferments, email me for a FREE sample from The Homestead Kitchen chapter at tessa@homesteadlady.com.
