Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups buckwheat flour
  • 1/2 cup plain (all-purpose) flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons caster (superfine) sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • Butter, for greasing the pan
  • 2 cups blueberries
  • Plain yogurt
  • 2 mangoes, cheeked and scored (diced)
  • Maple syrup

Method

  • Heat the oven to 250 degrees F. Place the buckwheat flour, plain flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl and stir to combine.
  • Place the egg yolks and buttermilk in another bowl and stir well to combine.
  • Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour and mix lightly until just combined.
  • A few lumps are fine, so do not over mix.
  • Place the egg whites in a clean, dry stainless steel bowl and whisk until stiff peaks form.
  • Using a large metal spoon, fold the egg whites through the batter in two batches.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and brush a small portion of butter over the base.
  • For each pancake, ladle 4 tablespoons of batter into the pan and sprinkle with a heaped tablespoon of blueberries.
  • Cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake.
  • Turn the pancakes over and cook for another minute.
  • Transfer to a plate and keep warm in the oven while you make the remaining pancakes.
  • Serve the pancakes in stacks of three with the yogurt, mango and a jug of maple syrup.
