In the old days in Russia, ordinary peasants baked pancakes with buckwheat flour, because they could not afford wheat flour. So why doesn't a modern hostess pamper loved ones with such a treat? Buckwheat pancakes come out tender, fragrant, beautiful coffee shade.

Culinary intricacies of cooking buckwheat pancakes

To make pancakes tasty and beautiful, it is useful to take note of the secrets of experienced housewives:

• pancake dough should be sticky, and there is not enough gluten in buckwheat flour (a substance that provides stickiness), so it is important to use it together with wheat;
• the flour must first be sifted in order to saturate it with oxygen, thanks to this procedure, the pancakes will turn out to be airy, tender;
• the ingredients in the dough should be at room temperature (except for the cases specified in the recipe);
• fry the pancakes in a well-heated skillet, turning over immediately after the appearance of a golden crust so as not to dry them out.

Buckwheat flour does not have sufficient stickiness, so it is used in combination with wheat flour to prepare pancakes.
