To one quart of lukewarm water add as much buckwheat meal as will make a batter of the proper thickness. Add to this a little salt, a teaspoonful of soda dissolved, and a teaspoonful of tartaric acid dissolved in a half a cup of water. When the latter is ready, put in the acid and beat the batter well, then stir in the soda, and bake immediately.
