Ingredients
-
2 cups buckwheat flour
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1 cup buttermilk, or more as needed
-
½ (0.6 ounce) cake fresh yeast
-
1 teaspoon white sugar
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
⅛ teaspoon salt
-
1 cup hot water, or as needed
Directions
-
Combine buckwheat and all-purpose flours in a mixing bowl. Add buttermilk and yeast. Stir with a spoon until batter is smooth. Add more buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time, if batter is too stiff.
-
Cover the 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 appear and 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.
Cook’s Note
After making desired number of pancakes, add enough buckwheat flour and buttermilk to make a batter. Cover and let stand in a draft-free place until more pancakes are to be made. Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for each batch of pancakes, then make more batter each time following this step. Batter may be kept at room temperature and used repeatedly for 3 weeks. If any batter is left after 3 weeks, discard it.
Substitute 1 1/2 packets active dry yeast in 1 cup warm water if preferred.
