Ingredients

  • 1 cup buckwheat
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (cut into 4 or 5 slices)

Instructions

  • Rinse the grains well.
  • Put the grains in a pot. Add the water and salt. Place a cover on top of the pot.
  • Bring water to a boil and then lower heat to a simmer.
  • When no water is left (18-20 mins), turn off the heat, add the butter on top, and cover the pot with a lid again.
  • When the butter is melted, fluff with a fork and serve!
  • You can also cover the pot with a towel and let sit. The longer it sits, the more fluffy and delicious the buckwheat!
