Ingredients:
1 egg
200-300 ml kefir
1 tablespoon sugar
Salt (to taste)
150 g parboiled buckwheat (ground using a coffee grinder or mill Grechka buckwheat and then mix 1 teaspoon baking powder and 0.5 teaspoon baking soda)
Optional Christmas Indulgence:
Black caviar
Champagne
Instructions Prepare the Batter:
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg and add kefir, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Gradually incorporate the ground parboiled buckwheat flour, ensuring a smooth batter.
Perfect Consistency:
Aim for a batter consistency similar to thick sour cream. If needed, adjust by adding more kefir for a smoother texture.
Enhance Leavening:
To the ground parboiled buckwheat flour, add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 0.5 teaspoon of baking soda. This not only enhances leavening but also contributes to the pancakes' fluffy texture.
Let It Rest:
Allow the batter to rest for about 10 minutes before cooking. This step allows the ingredients to meld, resulting in a more flavorful pancake.
Cooking Time:
Heat a skillet and cook the pancakes in coconut oil for a delightful tropical twist (optional). Ensure each side achieves a golden brown hue.
Luxurious Topping:
For a Christmas indulgence, top your buckwheat pancakes with a generous dollop of black caviar. The rich, briny flavor of the caviar complements the nuttiness of the buckwheat.
Pair with Elegance:
Serve these decadent buckwheat pancakes with a side of chilled champagne. The effervescence of the champagne enhances the festive spirit, making your Christmas breakfast a truly luxurious affair.
Optional Tips:
Experiment with additional toppings like crème fraîche, chives, or a sprinkle of lemon zest to balance the flavors.
