Ingredients
  • 1 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1 cup white rice flour
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup + 1 tablespooon warm water
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast or quick rise dry yeast (make sure it’s gluten-free, if needed)
  • 1 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk beverage (Dave uses soymilk)
  • ⅓ cup hot water
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoons dairy-free buttery spread (can sub oil but add ⅛ teaspoon salt)
  • 2 teaspoons raw sugar, blackstrap molasses, or other sweetener of choice
  • Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
  1. The night before you plan to make the waffles, whisk together the buckwheat flour, rice flour, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm water. Whisk in the milk beverage.
  3. Add the liquid yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until very well blended (this is a case where the batter doesn’t have to be lumpy).
  4. Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise slightly at room temperature, then refrigerate it overnight.
  5. The next morning, dissolve the baking soda in the ⅓ cup hot water in a small bowl. Stir in the buttery spread and sweetener. If necessary, place the mixture in the microwave just long enough to soften the margarine (for our microwave it’s 30 seconds). Whisk to melt and incorporate the buttery spread.
  6. Pour the buttery baking soda liquid over the waffle dough, and stir until well blended. Let it sit for another 30 minutes at room temperature before preheating your waffle iron.
  7. Make the waffles according to the waffle maker directions.
  8. Serve with maple syrup.
