Pour 1 L water into a bowl and add 1/2 tsp salt.

Soak strawberries and blueberries in salt water for 5 minutes.

Grate a large apple (around 270g) and put it in a bowl.

Add 200g Greek yogurt to the grated apple.

Crack in 2 large eggs and add 1 tsp vanilla extract, then mix well.

Add 50 ml milk to the mixture and stir until combined.

In another bowl, put 175g buckwheat flour and add 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder and 1 tsp baking powder, then mix well.

Transfer the apple and egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix well.

Rinse the soaked fruits with water and drain the water for later use.

Heat 10g oil in a skillet and brush it evenly.

Pour the batter into the skillet and smooth it with a spatula, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes at low heat.

When bubbles form on top, flip the pancake over and press it down, cooking for another 3 minutes until done.

Make the remaining batter the same way.

Peel 2 kiwis, cut them in half lengthwise, and then cut into thin slices.

Arrange the kiwi slices on a plate.

Remove the stems from the strawberries, cut each strawberry into 2 pieces, and arrange them on the plate along with the blueberries.
