I’m on a buckwheat flour kick at the moment. I’d had a bag of it in my pantry for a while and figured I had better get round to using it before it goes out of date.

Well, I have been missing out all this time. I love baking with this flour!

Admittedly, the buckwheat does have a strong flavour that tends to blend better with more earthy flavours (such as chocolate) and doesn’t taste like your typical white wheat flour in any respect. But it’s not a bad thing. 

Do you bake with buckwheat flour? What sort of recipes do you like to use it in? 

I also have some whole buckwheat which I’ve heard makes fantastic risottos, so stay tuned for that!
