Buckwheat pancakes are a well-tested recipe for an economical and nutritious meal. They only require a few simple ingredients, which you likely have in your pantry. They can be served with sauces, as an accompaniment to roasted meats, or simply as a quick snack.
Simple buckwheat pancakes
Although buckwheat is a treasure trove of health benefits, not everyone is fond of its taste. However, these pancakes are a straightforward way to incorporate them into your daily diet. Buckwheat is an excellent source of complete plant-based protein, and the fibre regulates the digestive system, improves intestinal peristalsis, and helps maintain a healthy weight. It is also rich in B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron.
With a few simple ingredients, buckwheat transforms into delicious and nutritious savoury pancakes that will appeal to adults and children.
Adding Parmesan cheese beautifully enhances the flavour, adding a salty umami note. They taste great with mushroom sauce, tomato sauce, or sprinkled with spring onions.
Ingredients:
- 100g of buckwheat,
- 5 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese,
- 2 eggs,
- Salt and pepper to taste,
- Oil for frying.
Instructions:
- Cook the buckwheat in salted water until fluffy. It usually takes about 15 minutes for the water to start boiling.
- Drain the buckwheat, transfer it to a bowl, and let it cool.
- Add the eggs and grated Parmesan and season with salt and pepper.
- Mix thoroughly so that the ingredients combine.
- Heat oil in a pan and scoop portions of the mixture.
- Fry on both sides until the pancakes are golden brown.
After frying, place on a paper towel to remove excess oil. Serve with your favourite accompaniments. They are perfect for lunch, dinner, or a quick work meal. Enjoy!
