  • Pour the buckwheat flour into a bowl and add 2 cups of warm milk in which you've already dissolved the yeast. Stir and set in a warm place to rise. Once the batter has risen, stir it down, pour in the rest of the milk, add the wheat flour, and knead the batter well. Set it back in the warmth. After the batter has risen a second time, add the egg yolks whipped with two tablespoons of melted butter, along with the sugar and salt. Stir to combine. Whip the cream with a mixer, add the egg whites, and whip again. Gently fold this fluffy mixture into the batter and let it rest in a warm place for 20 minutes. After that, you're ready to cook the pancakes.
