things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of buckwheat flour?
  Around 7.5 g for a level tablespoon of medium-grind buckwheat flour. Heaping tablespoons run 10-11 g. The flour's coarse texture means it doesn't mound as smoothly as all-purpose, so 'level' here means scraping with a straight edge rather than tapping the spoon — tapping settles the flour and packs in extra grams.
• Why would a recipe use tablespoons of buckwheat flour instead of cups?
  Smaller doses appear in pancake and waffle recipes that blend buckwheat with oat or wheat flour, in dredging mixes for pan-fried fish, and in roux for mushroom or onion gravies where a nutty undertone is wanted. Two to three tablespoons is also a common addition to smoothie bowls for a malty, earthy note without committing the whole batter to gluten-free territory.
• Can I thicken sauces with buckwheat flour by the tablespoon?
  Yes, and it works well for darker pan sauces — beef, mushroom, or duck reductions where buckwheat's color and flavor blend in. One tablespoon (7.5 g) thickens about a cup of liquid to a light gravy. It won't gel as cleanly as wheat flour because there's no gluten to set, so cook the roux a minute longer to hydrate the starches.
