Gluten-Free Buckwheat Buttermilk Pancakes with Pomegranate Maple Syrup

The nutty flavour of gluten-free (yay!) buckwheat in a stack of fluffy pancakes begs for the tangy sweetness of this syrup with an unusual kick.
Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups buckwheat flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon table salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 1¼ cups buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the griddle
  • zest of ½ orange
  • pinch cinnamon
  • pinch nutmeg
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • ½ cup Red Crown Pomegranate Reduction*
  • sliced oranges and fresh pomegranate seeds (optional)

Instructions

  • In a bowl, mix dry ingredients together until fully combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together wet ingredients.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry, and mix until just incorporated. Do not overmix batter.
  • Heat non-stick griddle at medium, melt butter for cooking and pour ¼ cup batter onto griddle.
  • Cook until bubbles form on top, then flip. Pancakes should be golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.
  • Meanwhile combine maple syrup and pomegranate reduction in saucepan over low heat or warm through in microwave.
  • Serve pancakes with orange slices and pomegranate seeds (optional) and generous pours of syrup.
