RECIPE FOR PRESTON COUNTY
BUCKWHEAT CAKES
I Qt. lukewarm water, 1/4 cake large household
yeast, thicken to stiff batter with 2/2 cups Buck-
wheat flour, 1/2 cup wheat flour. Cover and let
rise overnight.
Keep this!
Next morning, dissolve I teaspoon soda, 2 tea-
spoons sugar in 1/2 cup milk, and enough warm water
to make batter thin enough to bake. Bake what is
needed to serve, and place rest in the refrigerator,
as a starter.
To renew at night (or at least 3 or 4 hours before
use), add 1 cup lukewarm water to starter, I cup
Buckwheat flour, 1/4 cup wheat flour. When ready
to serve, do as above (dissolve I teaspoon soda,
2 teaspoons sugar in 1/2 cup milk, and enough
warm water to make batter thin enough to bake
the second time.)
One does not need to use more yeast for several
mornings (then use about 1/4 teaspoon.) Now that
you have your light-browned Buckwheat cakes, all
you need to do is top them off with sausage, butter
and maple syrup for a meal fit for a King.
