Dissolving the yeast in warm milk is the first essential step in preparing these delicious pancakes. In a small bowl, add the yeast and pour the warm milk over it, stirring gently to dissolve. Then, add a fresh egg yolk, which will give the dough a richer texture and a distinct flavor. In another bowl, combine buckwheat flour with white flour, salt, and pepper. Buckwheat flour not only gives it a unique taste but also provides high nutritional content. Mix the dry ingredients well to combine.
Once the yeast has activated, pour the milk and yolk mixture over the dry ingredients. Use a whisk or spatula to mix everything until you have a smooth batter without lumps. The consistency should be slightly thicker than regular pancake batter. Once the batter is ready, cover the bowl with a thick towel and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour. This waiting time allows the yeast to work, making the batter fluffy and airy.
After the batter has risen, beat the egg white until it becomes stiff peaks. This will add a slight lightness to the pancakes. Gently fold the egg white into the batter, mixing lightly to avoid losing the incorporated air. In a non-stick skillet, heat a little oil, being careful not to use too much to avoid excessive frying. Use a small ladle to pour the batter into the skillet, placing it in the center. Do not spread the batter, allowing it to spread naturally.
Cook the pancakes over medium heat until bubbles of air appear on the surface and the edges become firm. This will take a few minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip the pancake and continue cooking on the other side. Once both sides are browned and have a nice texture, remove the pancake to a plate. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, ensuring the skillet is always lightly greased.
These pancakes are delicious both warm and cold, and their flavors pair perfectly with a fragrant herbal tea. Enjoy them plain or with various fillings such as cheese, jam, or yogurt to add extra flavor. These treats are ideal for a lavish breakfast or a healthy snack throughout the day.
