1/2 cups beer, at room temperature
1 teaspoon dry yeast
1/4 cup buckwheat flour
1 cup white flour
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Steps:

1.)In a small bowl, combine half the beer, the yeast, and 2 tablespoons of the buckwheat flour. Stir to make a sponge, cover, and let rise in a warm place for at least an hour. 2.) Stir in the rest of the buckwheat flour, the white flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of the beer. Use only enough beer to make a soft but firm dough. You will probably not use the whole 1/2 cup. Cover again, and let the dough rest for 30 minutes. 3.)Divide it into quarters and roll it out by hand or in the pasta machine. Don't hesitate to flour the dough if it seems sticky as you work it. Cut into medium-width noodles.
