What Is Buckwheat

Despite the name, buckwheat is not a type of wheat. Instead, it’s a pseudo-grain or seed and is related to rhubarb.

Even though buckwheat is not an actual grain like wheat, it does however, act as a (gluten-free) grain from a culinary perspective.

Though this recipe calls for one half cup of flour, you can substitute it for buckwheat, and therefore, make this a gluten-free pancake breakfast.
