I just bought buckwheat in the supermarket today, thinking I could make pancakes with it or something, but now I realise most recipes call for buckwheat flour and I have whole buckwheat.

You could throw it into a blender and blitz it into flour...might be a bit lumpier than usual flour but you could still make pancakes out of it.

No idea od the benefits of using it over other types of flour though, sorry...
