Notes
For a vegan version, substitute the egg with a flax egg, use plant-based milk, and opt for a dairy-free yogurt alternative. Buckwheat flour can vary in texture, so if your batter is too thick, add a splash more milk until it reaches the desired consistency. Enjoy the natural sweetness of the berries, or drizzle with a touch of honey or maple syrup for added indulgence.
