One-quarter yeast cake,
Two cupfuls flour,
One-quarter teaspoonful baking soda.
Beat hard and then let rise overnight; then prepare as for buckwheat cakes.
Modern methods have eliminated the yeast and substituted baking powder, thus making a quicker mix. To prepare buckwheat cakes with baking powder, prepare a blend of flour as follows:
Two pounds of buckwheat,
One pound of wheat flour,
One cupful cornmeal,
One ounce of salt,
Three ounces of baking powder,
