OLD-FASHIONED SOUR BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine buckwheat and all-purpose flour in a mixing bowl. Add buttermilk and yeast. Stir with a spoon until batter is smooth. Add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if batter is too stiff.
• Cover bowl with a dinner plate and let stand in a draft-free place, 8 hours to overnight.
• Add sugar, baking soda, and salt after the overnight rest. Mix in enough hot water to give batter a thin, pourable consistency.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and 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. Reserve some batter as a starter for the next batch.

• If you want to try using a starter next time, reserve 1 cup of batter (it will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator).
• Fry the remaining batter in a lightly greased frying pan or griddle (I prefer cast iron) as you would for regular pancakes, turning once.
• To use starter:.
• When you are ready to prepare the recipe again, place starter (all of it) in a large bowl (see warning, step 4 above).

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter.
• In another bowl, mix together white flour, buckwheat flour, sugar, salt and baking soda. Pour the dry ingredients into the egg-mixture. Stir until the two mixtures are just incorporated.
• Heat a griddle or large frying pan to medium-hot, and place 1 tablespoon of butter, margarine or oil into it. Let the butter melt before spooning the batter into the frying pan, form 4 inch pancakes out of the batter. Once bubbles form on the top of the pancakes, flip them over, and cook them on the other side for about 3 minutes. Continue with this process until all of the batter has been made into pancakes.
