How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Use a sharp knife and split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise.
  • With the back of the knife scrape the pulp away from the bean. Discard the bean.
  • In a saucepan, over medium heat, combine the milk, vanilla bean pulp, and 1/2 cup of the butter.
  • Bring to a boil.
  • Stir in the buckwheat and continue to cook until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk the eggs and the sugar together.
  • Stir in the cooled buckwheat mixture, lemon zest and raisins.
  • Fold in the beaten egg whites.
  • Butter a shallow baking pan (8- by 8- by 2-inch, square) with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  • Pour the buckwheat mixture into the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Serve warm in individual serving bowls with cherry jam.

    Wow! I have some buckwheat to use, I bought it for one recipe and I haven't found another use for it so far... I could substitute some of the ingredients for my dietary problems. Very interesting!

    Thanks tippy

    I made this for my brother-in-laws birthday (he loves buckwheat too). My sister-in-law thought it sounded weird, but she couldn't stop talking about it! We didn't need the jam. This puts such a good flavor in your mouth! It is really great!
    Thanks ~Dawn

    Vanilla beans are pretty pricey, so why discard it after scraping. First, you should steep it the milk and remove it before adding the other ingredients. Then place it a bowl of sugar for a great addition to your next recipe.

    I've never seen a dessert using groats. I just may have to try this soon. My husband and I are not really dessert people, but this sounds interesting and my husband just loves buckwheat groats. Thanks!
