Jamie Oliver Strawberry Buckwheat Pancakes Recipe

Jamie Oliver Strawberry Buckwheat Pancakes

Strawberry buckwheat pancakes are light, fluffy pancakes made with buckwheat flour, which gives them a unique earthy flavor. Fresh strawberries are folded into the batter or used as a topping, adding natural sweetness and a burst of freshness.

Ingredients

  • Buckwheat flour: 150g (1¼ cups).
  • Baking powder: 1 teaspoon.
  • Milk: 250ml (1 cup), any type (dairy or plant-based).
  • Eggs: 2 large.
  • Honey or maple syrup: 1 tablespoon.
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon.
  • Strawberries: 150g (1 cup), chopped.
  • Butter or oil: For cooking.
  • Optional toppings: Extra strawberries, yogurt, maple syrup, or nuts.

Instructions

Step 1: Mix the dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour and baking powder.

Step 2: Prepare the wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 3: Combine the batter

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add strawberries

Fold the chopped strawberries into the batter, reserving a few for topping if desired.

Step 5: Cook the pancakes

Heat a non-stick frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan, forming small rounds. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Step 6: Serve

Stack the pancakes on a plate and top with extra strawberries, a dollop of yogurt, and a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
