Buckwheat pancakes are a popular breakfast item in many parts of the world, including Russia, Japan, and the United States. This recipe puts a twist on the traditional recipe by using active dry yeast to leaven the batter and molasses to add a touch of sweetness and depth of flavor. The resulting pancakes are light, airy, and have a subtle tangy taste that pairs well with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or savory toppings like smoked salmon or avocado slices.

Instructions

1.In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in the warm water and let sit for 5 minutes.
2.In a separate bowl, mix the cold water, sifted flour, salt, and molasses together until well combined. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter, and stir until just combined.
3.Cover the batter and let it rise for 1-2 hours, or until light and bubbly.
4.Stir in the dissolved baking soda.
5.Ladle the batter onto a greased griddle or skillet over medium heat, and cook until golden brown on both sides, flipping once.
