Lenten buckwheat pancakes:
• If buckwheat flour is not in the store, do not rush to abandon the idea of baking pancakes, you can cook it yourself. To do this, carefully sort the buckwheat and grind it into coffee grinders, then sift.
• Be sure to add wheat flour to the dough, it will give the mass the necessary stickiness.
• No additional flavorings are added to the dough in the form of, for example, vanilla or cinnamon, as these products can ruin the taste of buckwheat pancakes.
• Usually, buckwheat pancakes are served with additives such as fried onions, pickles, mushrooms, green onions. But you can also experiment with sweet fillings: jam, jam, honey.
Lenten roll with poppy seeds:
• You can also add some honey, nuts, raisins to the filling.
