BUCKWHEAT CORNCAKES

Steps:

• Mix buckwheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• In a large bowl, combine mashed banana, maple syrup, vinegar, and milk. Add flour mixture, stirring just enough to remove any lumps and make a pourable batter. Add a bit more milk if batter seems too thick.
• Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle, then spray lightly with vegetable oil. Pour small amounts of batter onto the heated surface and cook until tops bubble. Turn carefully with a spatula and cook the second sides until browned, about 1 minute. Serve immediately.

BLUEBERRY BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, beat together the buttermilk, nonfat milk, honey, eggs, and oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing only enough to combine them. Stir in 1 cup of berries.
• Preheat a large nonstick griddle or skillet over a medium flame. Ladle the batter onto the skillet with a 1/4-cup measure. Flip the pancake when it is golden brown on the bottom and bubbles are forming on top, about 1 1/2 minutes. Cook the other side until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Serve topped with more blueberries and the maple syrup.

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).

BUCKWHEAT CINNAMON PANCAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine the whole wheat flour, buckwheat flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
• In a smaller bowl, slightly beat egg, whisk in milk, and oil.
• Add egg mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until mixed.
• Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto a greased hot skillet or griddle; turn pancakes when tops are covered with bubbles and edges look cooked.
• Makes about 10 small pancakes.

CORNCAKES ON THE GRIDDLE

Steps:

• Mix the dry ingredients together in a medium bowl. It will be particularly convenient if you have one of those 2 quart measuring cups with the pour spout.
• Beat the eggs into the milk or buttermilk.
• Mix the milk-egg mixture into the cornmeal mixture. I find that a fork is a better tool than a spoon for this.
• Note -- the batter will be a bit thicker than ordinary pancake batter but should still pour. Different types of cornmeal will make a thicker or thinner batter and it may thicken on standing as you cook -- making it hard to get the centers of the later batches done. Add more milk a little at a time if necessary.
• Heat your griddle medium to medium-high. Butter it lighly and pour out batter to make cakes 3-4 inches across.
• Cook until bubbles appear in the upper surface and the bottom is nicely browned. Turn and cook until the bottom is brown and the cake is cooked through. Reduce heat and/or add more milk to the batter if the centers aren't cooked before the outsides threaten to burn.
• Butter the griddle very lightly between batches --just enough to prevent sticking and encourage browning but not enough to give them a fried texture.
• Serve with butter, jelly, apple butter, or other favorite bread spread.

BUCKWHEAT VEGAN CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Whisk together soy milk and vinegar, set aside for a minute.
• Beat together soy milk mixture, oil, sugar and extracts.
• Sift in the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and milk until no lumps remain.
• Fill cupcake liners two thirds of the way up and bake for 20-22 minutes.

BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Combine the plain flour, buckwheat flour, sugar, ½ tsp salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl. Combine the melted butter, eggs and buttermilk in a jug and whisk to combine. Stir the wet ingredients slowly into the dry ingredients until combined, to make a thick batter.
• Heat a large non-stick pan or skillet over medium heat and brush with a light layer of vegetable oil. Add a few heaped tablespoons of the mixture into the pan and form into a circle. If your pan is large enough you can do 2-3 at a time, just don't overcrowd the pan too. Once the edges are set and bubbles appear on the surface (around 2-3 mins) flip and cook for a further 2 mins. The pancakes should be a deep golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a warm oven on low and repeat the process until the batter is all used.
• Serve stacked with fresh blueberries and maple syrup drizzled generously over the top.

EASY BUCKWHEAT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Put the cherries in a bowl with 1 tbsp sugar, stir and set aside.
• Mix the remaining sugar, flours, cinnamon and bicarb in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and crack in the eggs. Gradually whisk in with the buttermilk to make a smooth batter.
• Melt a knob of butter in a non-stick frying pan. Add spoonfuls of batter to make pancakes about 8-10cm across. Cook for a couple of mins until set on the bottom and bubbles appear on the surface, then flip and cook the other side.
• Keep the pancakes warm in a low oven while you finish up the batter. Serve 2-3 piled on each plate, topped with a spoonful of cherries and a drizzle of maple syrup.
