Method

  1. Whisk the flour, baking powder, egg and milk to a smooth batter and let it stand for ten minutes.

  2. Dice the apple, skin on, and cook it in a dry pan with the cinnamon and a splash of water for five minutes until soft at the edges.

  3. Cook the pancakes in the coconut oil over medium heat, about two minutes a side, until the surface is dry and the underside is dark.

  4. Stack with the yogurt, the apple and the maple syrup.

Worth knowing

  • Buckwheat is not wheat despite the name, and the pancakes are gluten-free if the flour is milled somewhere that keeps it that way. Check the bag.
  • Rest the batter. Buckwheat drinks up the milk slowly and an unrested batter makes pancakes that crack.
