Homemade Buckwheat Hot Cakes

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 6 teaspoons shortening
• 1 egg, separated
• 1 1/4 cups 1% milk
• 1 tablespoon molasses

1. Mix all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, and baking powder together in a bowl. Cut in shortening with 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. Beat egg yolk lightly in a separate bowl. Mix in milk and molasses. Pour into the flour mixture; mix batter until no dry spots remain.
3. Beat egg white in a separate bowl until stiff. Fold into the batter.
4. Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Pour batter into 4-inch cakes on the griddle. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
