In a large mixing bowl, combine buckwheat flour, buttermilk, egg, salt and baking soda and whisk well.

Notes: You might want to use a second pan to speed up the process. Beluga lentils take 20 minutes to cook. Place 1/3 cup dry lentils in a pot with 1 cup water. Bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes over low heat. Drain and let cool.
