Baking of Buckwheat Cakes
Ingredients
Directions
Ensure the griddle is clean and evenly heated, but not too hot.
Lightly grease the griddle with leaf lard.
Drop enough batter onto the griddle to form ordinary-sized cakes.
Cook on one side until done, then flip and cook the other side.
Serve hot with sugar or syrup.
