  3. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula, being careful not to overmix—the batter should remain slightly lumpy.

9. Flip each pancake carefully using a thin-edged spatula.
10. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the underside is golden brown and the center springs back when gently pressed.
11. Transfer cooked pancakes to a wire rack in a single layer to prevent steaming.
12. Repeat the cooking process with remaining batter, regreasing the surface as needed.

What makes these pancakes truly special is their delicate crumb and earthy flavor that pairs beautifully with the caramel notes of maple syrup. The buckwheat gives them a subtle nuttiness that’s both sophisticated and comforting. For an extra treat, try topping them with toasted pecans and a dollop of whipped crème fraîche to create a delightful contrast of textures.
