Can I make vegan buckwheat pancakes?

Absolutely! I've tested this recipe every which way. For egg-free, use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water, let it sit 5 minutes to thicken). Swap the butter for coconut oil or vegan butter, and any plant milk works beautifully. The texture comes out slightly denser but still delicious - my vegan friends gobble them up!

Why did my pancakes turn out dense?

Oh honey, I feel your pain - been there! The #1 culprit? Overmixing the batter. Buckwheat flour needs gentle handling - stir just until combined, lumps and all. Also check your baking powder's freshness (it expires!) and don't skip that 5-minute rest. If they're still too heavy, try adding 1/4 tsp baking soda with the dry ingredients for extra lift.

Can I use a pre-made gluten-free pancake mix?

I don't recommend it, and here's why: most mixes contain starches and gums that change the texture completely. The beauty of these buckwheat pancakes is their simplicity - just buckwheat flour and a few pantry staples. If you're short on time, mix the dry ingredients the night before. Trust me, homemade tastes worlds better than any boxed mix!
