How easy can things get when a professional superchef goes through all the effort to experiment and gives the result to you: I just made the pancakes, they are really wonderful! The tender crispiness of the edges, perfect texture, great flavour... Thank you so much, Chef John, I am not a great recipe follower in general, but I seem to trust you so much that I find myself trying almost every new recipe and many of the older ones, too! You are a great chef and person and entertainer! Thank you so very much!
My grandpa loves buckwheat pancakes. I personally never understood it, but his birthday is coming up this month. I might have to make these for him. Thanks Chief John!! =]
Nice that you used 100% Buckwheat. Maybe on my next Buckwheat pancake video, I will grind 100% Buckwheat for flour. I found using the lower protein soft wheat berries in combination with the buckwheat gave me a very nice and light pancake. Anyone on a gluten free diet would appreciate 100% Buckwheat. Of course, I had to use blueberries! :)
That Christina Aguilera reference was just perfect! "Beautiful" [Spoken] Don't look at me Every day is so wonderful Then suddenly it's hard to breathe. Now and then I get insecure From all the pain, I'm so ashamed. I am beautiful no matter what they say. Words can't bring me down. I am beautiful in every single way. Yes, words can't bring me down... Oh no. So don't you bring me down today. To all your friends you're delirious, So consumed in all your doom. Trying hard to fill the emptiness. The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone. is that the way it is? You are beautiful no matter what they say Words can't bring you down....oh no You are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring you down, oh, no So don't you bring me down today... No matter what we do (no matter what we do) No matter what we say (no matter what we say) We're the song inside the tune Full of beautiful mistakes And everywhere we go (and everywhere we go) The sun will always shine (the sun will always, always shine) And tomorrow we might wake on the other side We are beautiful no matter what they say Yes, words won't bring us down, no, no We are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring us down, oh, no So don't you bring me down today Oh, yeah, don't you bring me down today, yeah, ooh Don't you bring me down ooh... today
New England buckwheat pancakes are traditionally eaten with molasses, fyi. I grew up on them. Now, I make buckwheat pcakes often as I eat gluten free. They are super satisfying. Your recipe is a good one. I make larger ones without milk, using almond milk and water and these days eat em with agave or stevia. I also have a banana-buckwheat pcake recipe for when I want the "banana bread experience" crossed with my fave pcake. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Thank you chef John! I have some buckwheat flour lying around and I didn t know what to do with it! Thanks to you, my morning will henceforth be pancake laden.
OMG! Finally Success! Daughter and I react to gluten, I have tried several GF recipes. This ones are delicious, fluffy and easy to make. Thank you so much!
I haven't had buckwheat pancakes since I was a child, and having been a finicky eater, it was surprising that I loved them. I'm adding this recipe to my to-do list.
Chef John, I made your recent beef jerky recipe using both beef and fish and it was delicious! I used both thinly cut strips of top round from the butcher and I also tried individually vacuum sealed boneless skinless tilapia fillets sold in four pound bags. I marinated the fish for 3 hours, cooked it at 200 for four, and it came out really tasty. The first batch of beef that was with the fish for four hours was too long and a little crunchy, but it's already gone so apparently it wasn't too untasty ;) The second batch of beef (which sat in the marinade for 7 hours, while the first one cooked), I cooked for 3 hours at 200 degrees and it was such a nice texture! Thank you for sharing that recipe, it was very delicious. And I really liked that it made fish taste good (not an easy accomplishment).
I went to your site and tried out the Buckwheat pancakes. We "had" four pancakes left when I went to take my nap and now there is one left! The guys loved them! So now I can buy more buckwheat flour because I am sure there will be more requests for buckwheat pancakes. My husband can't eat white flour anymore and he can't have sugar. Thank you for the simple recipe. I did have to alter it slightly because I don't have sugar in the house (so I used Stevia) and I don't have buttermilk, so I used regular milk with apple cider vinegar.
Thanks Chef John, I doubled the batch and added a T. of Cacao powder and it actually turned out... and good to boot! It's reminiscent of chocolate cupcakes. My double batch was too much for just myself... who knew!? : ) I also noticed that a thicker batter makes for thinner cakes ( I was trying to get away from having to ladle them thin with the thinner mix ; ) but I used pure coconut cream instead of buttermilk. I used my Vitamix to mix and dispense the batch. I reach for the lazy button whenever I can. confessions of a lazy cook ; )
I just recently figured out that my long-unhappy stomach is intolerant to gluten (and a bunch of random, common carbohydrates, but yeah, gluten) and was mourning not being able to eat breads and tasty cakey things. This video was a real pick-me-up after all that, thank you for posting it! :)
I just came across a bread channel yesterday called The Bread Kitchen, with a lady that has an all buckwheat loaf recipe which people were raving about in the comments - you might like to try that out too. The name of the video was something like "gluten-free buckwheat loaf".
You have a special talent, chef John. Sometimes I'll see one of your videos and think that something just isn't my taste, not a dish I'm interested in trying. Yet by the end of the video I'm sold, and actually eager to give it a try! These may not be classically pretty, but I'm excited to give them a go.
Thanks so much for posting this recipe. It's been years since I had real buckwheat anything. I love that you only use buckwheat flour... and yeah, they have a strange color, but so do blueberry pancakes, and look how good they are. Will certainly try these! Keep 'em coming!
Dear chef john I really love ur videos and I appreciate u trying to be healthy but please can u just give the people what we want which is TGI Fridays recipes thank you love you
I completely agree that Buckwheat pancakes are beautiful, as well as delicious and satisfying! As a Boomer child, my grandmother made these for me. Nobody else in the family liked them, but I loved them so much. She also put chopped pecans in them sometimes, and once in a while, blueberries. A couple strips of bacon or patties of sausage, and YUM!
Chef John said 'dry ingredients' and I saw cement powder (sorry). The upside? Only Chef John can make us willing to try eating food that resembles cement during preparation. That's how great he is!
I make these all the time, but I’m vegan so instead of buttermilk I use oat or coconut with some vinegar in it (it curdles and reacts with the leavening agents the same way) and in place of the egg I just use a couple tablespoons of oil and a sprinkle of ground flax seeds... they turn out great. You can sub half of the buckwheat with rice or other gluten free flour too, they turn out fine. I top mine with peeled apple chunks, cinnamon, some coconut sugar and crushed walnuts. Cook it all down and enjoy! Delicious
My dad has always loved making buckwheat pancakes, we all love them( there were 6 of us growing up who had very hearty appetites!)... My husband isnt so keen on them, so it must be an “ aquired” taste! Thanks for this! I will have to make my dad some “ Homemeade buckwheat pancakes!
Loved it, Chef John. Really great idea to use buckwheat for pancakes. I have my own coconut pancake recipe which is just as delightful. Thanks for sharing.
chef john nails it EVERY TIME with the deadpan understated hilarity. successfully referencing christina aguileria to brown pancakes? and your recipes kick ass? i will watch you make oatmeal.
I put some instant yeast, about a heaped teaspoon in my pancakes along with the baking powder, then let rest for a good half hour - they come out wonderful!
Thank you Chef John Extraordinaire Not only are your buckwheat pancakes healthy, buckwheat contains essential minerals, vitamins and amino acids as well as pre-biotic benefits. Thank you for your recipe ☺️
Doubled the recipe and they were delicious to say the least. I will never buy regular pancakes again. My buckwheat flour came from Zanella Milling Company in West Sunbury, Pa.
Ok, 2 things: - I really like the way you pronounce 'syrup' - I laughed out loud at that Aguilera joke I have to get me a cast-iron pan.. I just have to!
Buckwheat pancakes were always served with molasses when my mom made them. To this day, I find that the maple syrup's delicate flavor is overpowered by the buckwheat. And using anything but butter with those pancakes is total heresy. I might whip up a batch of buckwheat pancakes this weekend. Thanks for a great recipe.
Here in PA Buckwheat cakes are a huuuuge deal! There are "All You Can Eat Buckwheat Pancake" stands at out county fair and fundraiser breakfasts at local fire halls. They're not my favorite though. Lol!
Locally produced sugar cane syrup (not from the store) is the PERFECT topping for buckwheat pancakes - even thought I don't like it on anything else. Too strong but I will certainly try this pancake recipe for my gluten intolerant sister-in-law. THANK YOU.
Wow! These were absolutely wonderful. The only downside is the not too student-friendly price (though not too bad for being gluten free) and the fact that I'm not the only one who loves them, therefore I don't get to eat even close to all of them.
Since you're using farine de sarrasin, I wish you'd made Breton galettes. The old-timers soak balled-up string in melted butter and drag it across the surface of the billig. It is the old way, and the best way to butter a pan for pancakes, galettes and crêpes. But the pancakes look delicious nonetheless!

"Something doesn't have to be pretty to be beautiful! I learned that from a Christina Aguilera video a long time ago!"
I laughed so loudly.
Me too! I love it when he says things like that :p
Same here!
Me too!
Guilty😆😆😆
I love that quote.
"You are the Alfalfa of your Buckwheat" Hahaha that's funny Chef John. Nice Little Rascal's reference.

You mean *Chef*?
@@atlas3732 how rude. English speakers aren't the only ones who use the Internet.
Haha! Love the messy pouring explanation. Big fan of buckwheat pancakes! :) Great recipe.
I LOVE YOU

Donal Skehan does it taste good?

Thanks chef john! As a celiac I appreciate this recipe. I haven't used buckwheat flour on it's own before but I am going to have a try at these.
That Christina Aguilera reference was just perfect!
"Beautiful"
[Spoken]
Don't look at me
Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly it's hard to breathe.
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed.
I am beautiful no matter what they say.
Words can't bring me down.
I am beautiful in every single way.
Yes, words can't bring me down... Oh no.
So don't you bring me down today.
To all your friends you're delirious,
So consumed in all your doom.
Trying hard to fill the emptiness.
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone.
is that the way it is?
You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down....oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today...
No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(no matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go
(and everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(the sun will always, always shine)
And tomorrow we might wake on the other side
We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, no, no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today
Oh, yeah, don't you bring me down today, yeah, ooh
Don't you bring me down ooh... today
Buckwheat pancakes were a breakfast staple growing up on our dairy farm in California. They were my favorite.

I didn't know how strongly you felt about chocolate chip pancakes lol.

I am so happy to see gluten free recipes!! Thanks foodwishes!!
I can't wait to make these. I love whole wheat pancakes or any pancakes with a deeper flavor than the ones made with white flour. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah great idea! I would love to learn how to make jack Daniel chicken wings and the loaded potato skins they make there!!
No chance.
??? His recipes are so much better than that stuff.
lmao tgi fridays
:-\
These are delicious and more healthy than using white flour. Thanks for the excellent recipe!
"You know what's coming after the butter"
I was half expecting you to say cayenne. Syrup was a real surprise!
Looks wonderful - I adore the nutty flavour of buckwheat pancakes!
I completely agree that Buckwheat pancakes are beautiful, as well as delicious and satisfying! As a Boomer child, my grandmother made these for me. Nobody else in the family liked them, but I loved them so much. She also put chopped pecans in them sometimes, and once in a while, blueberries.
A couple strips of bacon or patties of sausage, and YUM!
MissAstorDancer I agree! Buckwheat pancakes are one of the most delicious things and a great thing to have for breakfast to get you through the day.
MissAstorDancer Just made this recipe and love it. Since they are very dense, once you eat a couple of them you know you've had a meal-lol.
Buckwheat pancakes are seriously good eatin'! I've enjoyed them since my Grandmother made them when I was a kid.
Grew up on buckwheat pancakes LOVE THEM!
I'm one of your gluten-free friends, so thanks for this recipe. ^_^
Chef John said 'dry ingredients' and I saw cement powder (sorry). The upside? Only Chef John can make us willing to try eating food that resembles cement during preparation. That's how great he is!
“Something doesn’t have to be pretty to be beautiful. That’s something I learned from a christians Aguilera video” this guy is just the best
Thank you for a gluten free recipe. I have to eat gf, which can be difficult, but your recipe looked easy and tasty.
you should eat with me, i'll eat all your gluten for you
I'm really into Oat flour pancakes/waffles, but these look great and I'd love to give them a try as soon as I could find some buckwheat!
Thank you SO much for a gluten-free recipe, these look so delicious. I have to eat GF (gluten sensitivity) so having good pancakes is a real treat!
Chocolate chip pancakes an abomination? My brain just broke...and I've been watching you for so long. I don't know if I can continue. :P
I make these all the time, but I’m vegan so instead of buttermilk I use oat or coconut with some vinegar in it (it curdles and reacts with the leavening agents the same way) and in place of the egg I just use a couple tablespoons of oil and a sprinkle of ground flax seeds... they turn out great. You can sub half of the buckwheat with rice or other gluten free flour too, they turn out fine.
I top mine with peeled apple chunks, cinnamon, some coconut sugar and crushed walnuts. Cook it all down and enjoy! Delicious
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS! Please do more gluten free things!
Chef John, seriously - You're the best
These look like they would be loved by our gang.
My dad has always loved making buckwheat pancakes, we all love them( there were 6 of us growing up who had very hearty appetites!)... My husband isnt so keen on them, so it must be an “ aquired” taste! Thanks for this! I will have to make my dad some “ Homemeade buckwheat pancakes!
I remember when I was a kid, you could buy buckwheat pancake mix, it was good! Hard to find now. I think the mix then was mixed with regular flower
Looks tasty, I plan on harvesting wild California buckwheat and processing the flour myself.
yay!!! I'm so glad you made a gluten free recipe, and so easy! I wil try this soon. Thank you!
Thanks for another great recipe! Made a batch this morning. They were great. Very soft and spongy texture. Taste was excellent. Keep up the good work.
buckwheat is abundant here in southern california, i might try my hand at these!
don't know why, but your videos make me happy!
Thanks! I love buckwheat. Excellent ingredients.
I love buckwheat , I’ll have to grind it to flour and try this
You best start calling me Victor Frankenstein cause I'm gonna make some chocolate-chip pancakes.
Same. Being an abomination just makes it tastier.
Here here!
I also agree
my favorite pancake!
The best channel on youtube!
Loved it, Chef John. Really great idea to use buckwheat for pancakes. I have my own coconut pancake recipe which is just as delightful. Thanks for sharing.
That Christina Aguilera reference gets my thumbs up. Also the pancakes look good.
That new camera of yours... and ur ever funny commentary.... love watching ur videos even more now!
WOW!!!!!! These are amazing! Follow the recipe exactly. Yummmm
I LOVE buckwheat pancakes my Grball used to make them for us when we were young! Can't find them anywhere - I'll be making mine from now on!
That is the prettiest batter I have ever seen
Mmmm these have thoroughly got me craving buckwheat pancakes and I've only just had dinner! I would need way more syrup than that though :D
Haha, "Please promise me you will use real butter." I couldn't agree more!
made these today and loved them! thanks chef john!
Here, in Quebec, we serve buckwheat pancakes with molasses! It's sooo good! Better than maple syrup!
chef john nails it EVERY TIME with the deadpan understated hilarity. successfully referencing christina aguileria to brown pancakes? and your recipes kick ass? i will watch you make oatmeal.
What a great pancake recipe!
Best textured pancake ever!
OHHhhh--- Thank you Chief John --- you are such a freat savior for gluten- free friends ---- Awesome --- Thank you soooooooo much
I put some instant yeast, about a heaped teaspoon in my pancakes along with the baking powder, then let rest for a good half hour - they come out wonderful!
Thank you Chef John Extraordinaire Not only are your buckwheat pancakes healthy, buckwheat contains essential minerals, vitamins and amino acids as well as pre-biotic benefits. Thank you for your recipe ☺️
They look pretty good.
Doubled the recipe and they were delicious to say the least. I will never buy regular pancakes again. My buckwheat flour came from Zanella Milling Company in West Sunbury, Pa.
Ooh! Never thought I'd say this but that healthy food looks delicious! :D Great one, Chef John.
You make me laugh every time. Every single time. Also, yum :)

Ok, 2 things:

I have to get me a cast-iron pan.. I just have to!

That batter looks cool.
I totally stole your "how to eat a chicken wing flat" tutorial and used it as my own...I'm now a legend on wing night!
Pancakes look good by the way
Nice Little Rascals reference.
Locally produced sugar cane syrup (not from the store) is the PERFECT topping for buckwheat pancakes - even thought I don't like it on anything else. Too strong but I will certainly try this pancake recipe for my gluten intolerant sister-in-law. THANK YOU.
Will have to give these a try. Thanks Chef.
... Loved the Christina Aguilar quip!
I love these with butter (lots of real butter) and unsweetened apple sauce.
What I was looking for!! Love this recipe! I m cooking it right now!! Thank you for you HEALTHY and FUN, Yes, FUN VIDEOS
Thanks, I tried and came up with one of the best pan cake I ever had. It was thick but yet spongy and thick.
Never had buckwheat flour before..I'll have to give it a try...Thanks for the recipes.
The batter reminds me of black sesame paste. Yummy.
I love buckwheat pancakes!
So pleased to find this channel.
Can I make these pancakes eggless?
Yes! Little Rascals reference. also gorgeous pancakes too
Wow! These were absolutely wonderful. The only downside is the not too student-friendly price (though not too bad for being gluten free) and the fact that I'm not the only one who loves them, therefore I don't get to eat even close to all of them.

Aunt jemima used have a mix of it im glad you made this recipe
Love buckwheat pancakes, better than flour pancakes.
