Step 1
In a bowl, combine the gluten-free pancake mix, water, egg, buckwheat flour, and vegetable oil. Stir everything together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. If it feels too thick, add a little more water to loosen it up. Let the batter rest for about 15 minutes—that helps make the pancakes nice and fluffy.
Step 2
Meanwhile, heat a lightly oiled griddle or non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Once it's hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of batter onto the surface. Cook the pancakes for around 2 minutes, or until the edges start to look set and the bottoms turn golden brown. Flip them carefully and cook for another minute or so, until the other side is golden too. Repeat with the rest of the batter, adding more oil if needed. Serve warm and enjoy!
Serving Guide
Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey for sweetness. Fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a dollop of yogurt also pair wonderfully. For a savory twist, try topping with avocado and a sprinkle of herbs.
How To Refrigerate This Dish
Store leftover pancakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, toast them lightly or warm in a skillet over low heat. For longer storage, freeze pancakes separated by parchment paper and reheat directly from frozen.
