Buckwheat Pancakes Recipe

These buckwheat pancakes are a recipe from Emma Martiny's first cookbook. Delicious salads and wonderful side dishes, which was released in 2015, and they have been a favorite ever since. The great thing about buckwheat pancakes is that they can be eaten at any meal of the day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. But they are especially good for the weekend, when lunch may need to be a little extra luxurious. Here they are filled with salad, a good dip and maybe fish or meat. However, they can also be made in true French style filled with eggs, ham and cheese, folded like a "galette", where the edges of the pancake are folded over the filling.

French buckwheat crepes

The pancakes are very similar to the crepes that you may know from various pancake stands. They are inspired by the French crepes, which are made from buckwheat flour and are served filled with everything from Nutella to cheese. In French cuisine, buckwheat crepes are used in both sweet and savory cuisine. If you like both, you can choose to make a large portion. Then one half can be filled with vegetables for lunch, after which the other half can be filled with homemade Nutella and fresh fruit as a delicious dessert. The recipe makes about 8 buckwheat pancakes, so there should be plenty for both. If you are not in the mood for dessert, you can save the remaining pancakes for your lunchbox, where they make an excellent wrap.
