Gingerbread Buckwheat Pancakes

June 26, 2015 by Stacey 11 Comments

Gingerbread buckwheat pancakes - so yum!

As I sniffle into yet another tissue this morning,  I am both nostalgic for the weekend we made these beautiful, warming little winter breakfast pikelets and yearning for next week when I step out of the plane into the welcoming warmth of the Bali sun.

Winter gives me all the feels.

It also makes me eat, which is true of me year-round anyway, but I feel as though I probably pay more attention to it during winter as I’m so not fortitudinally equipped for the cold that I avoid it at all costs. I huddle near the oven shovelling treats down my gullet and Googling the weather.

This recipe was born from an experiment, that one time I made a buckwheat pancake and it tasted like I was jostling a horse for position in front of the food trough. Not pleasant, and not something I wanted to take a second bite of.

Extra flour to lighten and some spice and molasses to complement the horsey hay taste and all of a sudden, I’ve got gingerbread pancakes that tasted exceptionally good with an extra drizzle of golden syrup, because I’ll get that wherever I can.

Eat some wintry treats and enjoy gingerbread outside of Christmas. At breakfast! #YOLO

Description

Warming and spicy – just perfect for winter weekend breakfasts.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 cup white flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut or brown sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon mixed spice
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup molasses
  • 1 Large egg
  • 2 cups milk (just under if you like them thick)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the buckwheat flour, regular plain flour, the spices, the sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add in the egg, milk, and molasses.
  3. Stir with a whisk until all ingredients are incorporated, and then stir a little bit harder a little bit longer to activate the baking powder and ensure the bubbles start to form so you get lovely, light little pancakes.
  4. In a large, heavy-bottom frying pan, melt some butter or coconut oil to medium heat.
  5. Spoon in the required amount of batter – I keep it fairly thick and only have little pikelet or silver-dollar-sized pancakes, but you can ladle out a larger pancake too.
  6. When the bottom is golden brown and the edges look almost set, you can flip them. I often keep an eye on the heat as some will cook faster than others as the pan heats up. I adjust it as necessary. But when the other side is browned, they’re ready to go!
  7. Serve as-is in lunchboxes, or with syrup for breakfast. Also really good with raspberry chia jam!

    Oh those sound good, so good that even though childhood experiences with buckwheat means I normally gag at the word the gingerbread overrules that enough that I’m going to have to try some!

      I didn’t have anything to do with buckwheat until I was at least in my 30s but it’s already been enough to frighten me!

    Oh man, stop it, seriously. My mouth is watering and I’m in an open-plan office space. Not cool.
