Steps:
- Combine buckwheat and all-purpose flour in a mixing bowl. Add buttermilk and yeast. Stir with a spoon until batter is smooth. Add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if batter is too stiff.
- Cover bowl with a dinner plate and let stand in a draft-free place, 8 hours to overnight.
- Add sugar, baking soda, and salt after the overnight rest. Mix in enough hot water to give batter a thin, pourable consistency.
- Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium heat. Drop batter by large spoonfuls onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve some batter as a starter for the next batch.

PRESTON COUNTY RAISED BUCKWHEAT CAKES
This is the original recipe which has been used for decades in our area. Many households had this every morning for breakfast served with sausage, bacon, eggs, sausage gravy, and maple syrup as toppings. Apple butter is also very good. Most people spread butter on each layer before eating as well. These are NOT called pancakes and are not nearly as thick as pancakes when prepared properly, the batter should be thin enough to spread out on its own to about a 7-8 inch circle without using the ladle to spread. Most people use a large measuring cup with a spout or a pitcher with a spout to pour them out onto the griddle. Traditionally a piece of pork fat skewered onto a fork was used to grease the griddle before each cake was baked. A well seasoned cast iron griddle is the only way I have found to successfully make these. Save at least a cup of the batter to save as a starter for the next batch (this will give a sour taste--sort of like sourdough) to the next batch you fix and is most excellent IMHO. Hope you enjoy. Prep time includes overnight rising time

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).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9-inch pan.
- Mix almond meal, buckwheat, salt, cinnamon, orange zest and baking powder together.
- In a separate bowl, beat the butter with 1 cup (200g) of sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time.
- Stir in the dry mixture alternately with the milk, until everything is evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with 1/4 sugar (50g) until stiff. Stir in one quarter of this mixture with the cake batter to lighten it up, and then gently fold in the rest of the whipped egg whites with the cake batter.
- Scrape batter into the greased pan, and smooth out the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, until a knife inserted in the centre comes out clean (cover loosely with foil if the top is browning too quickly).
- Cool for 10 minutes before loosening the cake from the pan, and then allow to cool completely.
