Ingredients:
leavening agents, yeast, baker's, active dry
salt, table
water, bottled, generic
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
leavening agents, baking soda
leavening agents, baking powder, double-acting, sodium aluminum sulfate

milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d
water, bottled, generic
salt, table

Directions:
In a large bowl, mix 1 cake Fleishman's Yeast or 1 envelope dry yeast and 1 teaspoon salt into one quart lukewarm water.
Let stand a few minutes and then add 3 cups, or enough buckwheat flour to make a stiff batter, (may use 2 1/2 cups buckwheat flour and 1/2 cup all purpose flour).
Cover and let stand overnight (or at least 4 or 5 hours).
When ready to bake the cakes, dissolve 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 2 teaspoons sugar in 1 cup hot water (may use 1/2 cup milk).
Stir into batter, then add about 1 cup or enough warm water to make a thin batter.
Bake on a hot, (I use med/high on my electric stove) greased griddle.
Use a long thin metal turner to lift edges and check bottom, it should be golden brown and bubbles should form on top, flip a cook on other side till done.
We usually serve stacks of 2-4 cakes each.
Save at least 1 cup of the batter for the next baking.
(It will keep in the refrigerator for about a week) To renew, add 1 pint lukewarm water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and enough Buckwheat flour to make a stiff batter.
Cover and let stand overnight (or at least 4 - 5 hours).
