Buckwheat Cakes No. 2

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pints Buckwheat flour
• 1/4 pint Wheat flour
• 1/4 pint Cornmeal (Originally Indian meal (historical name for cornmeal).)
• 3 teaspoonfuls Baking powder (Originally Royal Baking Powder.)
• 1 teaspoonful Salt
• 1 tablespoonful Brown sugar or molasses
• 1 pint Water

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, sift together the buckwheat flour, wheat flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt. Add the brown sugar or molasses.
2. 2Add water to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms that runs in a stream from a pitcher. Do not make the batter too thin.
3. 3Heat a griddle over medium heat. Pour batter onto the hot griddle in circles the size of a saucer. When the surface of the cakes is covered with air holes, flip them over. Cook until sufficiently browned on the other side.
