• Ready In: 12 hrs 5 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 2  cups buckwheat flour
• 1  cup white flour
• 1⁄4 ounce cake yeast
• 1  quart warm water

• 1⁄3 cup sugar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 tablespoon bacon drippings

Directions

1. Sift the flours together.
2. Dissolve cake yeast in the warm water.
3. Mix all ingredients well, into a batter.
4. Set at room temperature for 1 hour.
5. Cover and place into the refrigerator overnight.
6. Stir in baking soda to the portion to be used to leaven the sourness of yeast.

8. Serve hot with my "Kentucky Whipped Butter" and pure maple syrup.
