soaking flour, specifically for pancake batter

[onetrumpeter]

I've only tried it once, and didn't like the result. We don't have buttermilk or kefir; our only current cultured dairy is Dannon plain yogurt.

So I tried the NT recipe and mixed the flour w/ the yogurt but it was super thick. Let it soak overnight. Then it was very difficult to stir in the eggs and other ingredients (can't recall). I was thinking it may have been different/easier w/ cultured buttermilk or kefir, but not sure.

Any tips - or what I did wrong? Thanks! So thankful for you wise women on this forum - I'm learning new things ALL THE TIME! and it's so fun!

I love blender batter! Here's my version using whole buckwheat groats:

1 cup whole buckwheat groats, soaked overnight in water with 1 tblsp yogurt

In the morning, rinse well, drain well, and put the groats in the blender along with:

2 eggs
1/3 - 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
a pinch of salt
your choice of: 2 carrots, 1 large zucchini, 2 apples
(cinnamon to taste, if you like)

After the batter is smooth I like to put blueberries or raspberries in the mix. Fry in lard.

Yum Yum Yum.

I soak in kefir, but you could use 2-4 Tbsp yogurt in milk to soak, or add additional milk in the AM to thin it.
