- Milk 1/2 cup
Method

Prepare Ingredients.
Measure all ingredients carefully. Bring eggs and milk to room temperature to help the batter mix smoothly and cook evenly.
Tip: Room temperature eggs and milk blend better, resulting in fluffier pancakes. -
Mix Dry Ingredients.
In a medium bowl, sift the buckwheat flour to remove lumps and ensure a light texture.
Tip: Sifting flour helps prevent dense pancakes. -
Combine Wet Ingredients.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then whisk in the milk until fully combined.
Tip: Whisking eggs and milk first makes it easier to mix with flour. -
Make the Batter.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry flour while stirring gently with a whisk or spoon. Mix until just combined; some small lumps are okay. Avoid overmixing to keep pancakes tender.
Tip: Overmixing develops gluten and makes pancakes tough. -
Add Blueberries.
Fold the blueberries gently into the batter, distributing them evenly without breaking the berries.
Tip: Folding preserves the shape and juiciness of the blueberries. -
Heat the Pan.
Place a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
Tip: Test the pan by sprinkling a few drops of water; if they sizzle and evaporate, the pan is ready. -
Cook Pancakes.
Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot pan. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes. Flip carefully and cook the other side until golden brown, another 2 minutes.
Tip: Avoid pressing down on pancakes with the spatula to keep them fluffy. -
Serve.
Stack the pancakes on plates, drizzle with agave syrup, and serve immediately while warm.
Tip: Add extra fresh blueberries or a dollop of yogurt for extra flavor.
Pro tips
- Use a non-stick pan for easy flipping and minimal oil use.
- Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking to hydrate the flour and improve texture.
