Name: Yeasted Buckwheat Waffles
Yield: Makes 10 to 12 waffles
Ingredients: 2 1/4 teaspoons or 1 package active dry yeast; 1 teaspoon sugar; 2 cups lukewarm milk; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1 1/2 cups flour; 1 cup buckwheat flour; 2 tablespoons sugar; 5 tablespoons canola oil or butter, melted; 2 eggs, beaten; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Raising pancakes and waffles with yeast is an old American tradition that predates the invention of baking powder. The overnight proofing develops the flavor of the flours, and the yeast ensures lightness even for heavier grains. The batter keeps well, covered and refrigerated, for several days.
