1 3/4 cups cold water
1 1/2 cups buckwheat flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 tablespoon dark corn syrup (corn syrup or pancake syrup)
butter (for frying)
Directions:
1. In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the tablespoon of warm milk or water.
2. Add the melted butter and cold water.
3. Mix the flour, salt, and baking soda in another bowl.
4. Then combine the wet and dry to form a heavy batter.
5. Let the batter rest in the refrigerator overnight.
6. The next morning, remove from the refrigerator and mix in the syrup.
7. Melt butter in a skillet or griddle and spoon on amount of batter until desired size.
