What each ingredient does
- Buckwheat griddle cake mix
- Provides the flour base that sets into the cake structure once cooked on the griddle.
The step that matters
Cook until bubbles form, then flip. Bubbles form as steam escapes from the batter and leaves holes, showing the centre has set enough to turn without tearing. Flipping too early can make the cakes collapse or stick.
