BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES (YEAST METHOD)

Steps:

• Combine flours and salt.
• Soften yeast in warm water; stir in 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
• Stir this liquid into the dry ingredients and mix well.
• Be sure to use a large enough bowl so that your bowl is no more than half full at the beginning to allow plenty of room for rising.
• Cover and let stand overnight at room temperature.
• Next morning, stir batter, then add remaining sugar, the baking soda and oil and mix well.
• 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).
• Add 2 1/4 cups warm water, 2 1/4 cups flour, and 1 1/4 cups buckwheat flour and stir until smooth.
• Cover; let stand overnight as before.
• Next morning stir batter, then add 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoons soda and 2 tablespoons oil.
