For a lighter, fluffier pancake, let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes before cooking. This allows the gluten to relax and the baking soda to activate. Experiment with different spices! A pinch of cinnamon, cardamom, or nutmeg would also complement the buckwheat flavor beautifully. If you don't have sourdough starter, you can try substituting with a combination of milk and yogurt, but the flavor will be different. These pancakes are also delicious with savory toppings, such as smoked salmon, crème fraîche, and dill.
