BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES (YEAST METHOD)

Steps:

• Combine flours and salt.
• Soften yeast in warm water; stir in 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
• Stir this liquid into the dry ingredients and mix well.
• Be sure to use a large enough bowl so that your bowl is no more than half full at the beginning to allow plenty of room for rising.
• Cover and let stand overnight at room temperature.
• Next morning, stir batter, then add remaining sugar, the baking soda and oil and mix well.
• If you want to try using a starter next time, reserve 1 cup of batter (it will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator).
• Fry the remaining batter in a lightly greased frying pan or griddle (I prefer cast iron) as you would for regular pancakes, turning once.
• To use starter:.
• When you are ready to prepare the recipe again, place starter (all of it) in a large bowl (see warning, step 4 above).
• Add 2 1/4 cups warm water, 2 1/4 cups flour, and 1 1/4 cups buckwheat flour and stir until smooth.

• Repeat steps 7 and 8 above.

BUCKWHEAT WAFFLES

Steps:

• IF USING BUCKWHEAT GROATS: Place the buckwheat groats in the jar of a high-speed blender. Blend into a very fine flour. This might take a few minutes and require stopping the blender and shaking the container to get everything completely smooth.
• Pour the buckwheat flour into a bowl and add the coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix to evenly combine.
• In a glass measuring cup, add the almond milk (be sure it isn't cold so the coconut oil doesn't solidify), cider vinegar, vanilla extract and egg. Mix to combine. Pour the almond milk mixture into the dry ingredients along with the coconut oil. Stir to evenly combine.
• Preheat a waffle iron and light grease with cooking spray. Cook waffles according to the manufacturers instructions. (I usually cook my waffles for 3-4 minutes in this waffle iron).
• Serve immediately with toppings of choice. Leftover waffles freeze great! Just let them cool and put in a ziploc bag. Frozen waffles can be toasted directly from the freezer.

GLUTEN-FREE OVERNIGHT YEASTED WAFFLES

Steps:

• Approximately 9 hours or the night before making waffles, combine warm water, honey, and yeast in a small bowl. Stir and let rest until bubbly, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Combine milk and olive oil in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups gluten-free flour, 1/4 cup at a time, mixing well between each addition, to create a thick but pourable batter. Add more flour if batter is too thin, 1/8 cup at a time, until a pourable batter is achieved.
• Stir yeast mixture into batter until just combined. Cover bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and leave on the kitchen counter all night; batter will double or even triple in volume, so be sure the bowl is large enough.
• When you are ready to make the waffles, add beaten egg and salt to the bowl with the batter.
• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Cook about 1/4-cup batter in the preheated waffle iron until waffle is golden brown and the iron stops steaming, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

CAROB BUCKWHEAT WAFFLES OR PANCAKES (GLUTEN FREE, DAIRY FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat your waffle iron.
• Pour the flour into a large mixing bowl. Add the starch, carob powder, salt and chopped nuts.
• In the blender, grind the remaining nuts to a fine meal. Scrape the bottom and sides of the jar; add 1 ¾ C boiling water, vitamin C crystals, oil and vanilla; blend for one minute.
• If using optional eggs, mix yolks (if desired) into the batter and beat the whites, in a small bowl, to soft peaks. Use a rubber spatula to fold them into the batter (in the next step).
• Pour the liquids over the dry ingredients. Whisk lightly until the mixture is blended.
• Combine the remaining ¼ C boiling water with the baking soda (it will foam up). Stir to dissolve and whisk into the batter.
• Use a measuring cup to pour 1 C batter into the heated waffle iron. Cook until done.
• If making pancakes, it makes 12-15 large ones.
