1. Sift the buckwheat flour, plain flour and baking powder together. Mix the dried yeast with the warmed milk, then separate the egg and add the yolk to the yeast mix.
2. Next whisk this into the dry ingredients to make a smooth batter. Stir in the melted butter.
3. Whisk the egg white to stiff peaks, then gently fold into the batter, keeping as much volume as possible.
4. Clarify some butter by gently melting it in a pan, then pour off the clear yellow liquid to use (throw away the white bit left behind in the pan). Heat the clarified butter in a frying pan and drop in dessertspoons of the batter. Cook until the surface starts to bubble, then flip over and cook the other side. Serve with soured cream and smoked salmon on top.

  Have not made them due to the fact the ingredients do not mention yeast although the method says add yeast to warmed milk. Therefore it would be a waste, please amend .

  The clarified butter (Ghee) I make takes me 45 minutes minimum and is slightly more involved than melting and pouring yellow liquid off the top!!. Dried yeast, I assume, is an everyday store cupboard staple. George

  Thanks for alerting us to the missing yeast and sorry for any confusion. The correct quantity is actually 1/3 tsp of dried yeast and the recipe has been amended to show this. Happy cooking!
