Homemade Buckwheat Hot Cakes Food

PRESTON COUNTY RAISED BUCKWHEAT CAKES

Steps:

• 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).

GERMAN BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Stir together cold coffee, water, buckwheat flour, salt and eggs.
• Let rest one hour.
• In a medium skillet fry two slices of the bacon until crisp, then spoon one large scoop of the dough onto the bacon.
• Fry until edges start getting crisp, then flip and fry the other side.
• Proceed this way with remaining bacon and dough.
• Attention: To get really crisp pancakes, you need quite a lot of oil for frying. Using a non stick skillet, you can cut down the fat but won't get very crisp cakes.
• Serve hot with applebutter, golden syrup and pumpernickel.

Steps:

• Sift the flour. In a mixing bowl, combine sifted flour, salt and baking powder.
• Now take a second bowl. Combine the egg, sugar, melted butter and milk. Next, slowly add egg mixture to the flour mixture.
• Whisk until the batter is smooth like thin cream. Allow batter to rest 10 minutes.
• Next heat a frying pan on medium heat and brush the pan with a little melted butter. Pour the batter on the pan using a small ladle about 1/4 cup or 30 ml, making a basic pancake that about 5 to 6 inches in diameter. Cook both sides until nicely golden brown.

Steps:

• Mix all-purpose flour, buckwheat flour, and baking powder together in a bowl. Cut in shortening with 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Beat egg yolk lightly in a separate bowl. Mix in milk and molasses. Pour into the flour mixture; mix batter until no dry spots remain.
• Beat egg white in a separate bowl until stiff. Fold into the batter.
• Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Pour batter into 4-inch cakes on the griddle. Cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

HEALTHY HOT CAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the whole-wheat flour, unbleached white flour, buckwheat flour, oat bran or wheat germ, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• In a second bowl, combine the milk or yogurt, egg white and egg. Beat until frothy, then add the vegetable oil and beat to mix. Using a rubber spatula, fold this mixture into the large bowl. Stir only until ingredients are incorporated - do not overbeat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Remove batter from refrigerator. Heat a nonstick griddle or skillet. Apply an additional swab of oil if necessary. Using a 4-ounce measuring cup, pour the batter for one cake onto the griddle and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the top is full of bubbles. Then flip the cake over with a spatula and cook for another minute. Repeat with remaining batter. Serve with amber maple syrup, apple compote (recipe follows) or berry puree (recipe follows).
