BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES Contributed by Albers Milling Company. 2 Quarts Water Salt 1 Tablespoon Honey 2-3 Compressed Yeast Cake, or equivalent Buckwheat Flour Dissolve salt in the lukewarm water until it tastes almost briny. Thoroughly mix the yeast cake in the water before the flour is added. Mix honey and add the flour through a sieve. The batter should then be stirred or beaten a long time. If any batter is left, it may be set away in a cool place, not too tightly covered, to take the place of the yeast for the next time. When ready for the next batch, add the necessary quantity of salted warm water and the honey; stir thoroughly, and then add the buckwheat as before. It is better to mix the dough a little too thick than too thin. Water can be safely added before baking, if necessary. If the batter is sour in the morning from being kept too warm, use a little baking soda dissolved in warm water. The old batter is useless for yeast after the soda treatment. Serve with honey.
