Warm Maple Butter

  • 2 cups maple syrup
  • 2 cups cold unsalted butter , cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Pancakes

  • 2 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
  • 2 cups brown rice flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2.5 cups 3.25% milk
  • 1.25 cups sour cream

Instructions

  1. Maple Butter: Pour maple syrup into a small saucepan set over medium-high. Bring to a boil, and then remove from heat before it boils over. Whisking vigorously, gradually add cold butter and 1⁄2 tsp kosher salt. Mixture will begin to thicken when all the butter is added. Set aside.
  2. Pancakes: Sift flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and 1 tbsp kosher salt into a large bowl. Stir to combine.
  3. Stir eggs, milk and sour cream in a medium bowl un- til combined. Using a spatula, gradually stir egg mixture into flour mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add 2 tbsp batter to pan. Cook until bottom is golden-brown, and then flip and repeat. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.
  5. Serve pancakes with Warm Maple Butter. Leftover butter can be refrigerated for 1 week.
