5 steps

01
Bring the water to a boil and add the salt.
02
Sprinkle the buckwheat flour over the simmering water without stirring at first, then cover briefly so the flour steams.
03
Use a sturdy spoon to break up and stir the buckwheat flour until it forms small, moist crumbles and no dry pockets remain.
04
Cook gently, stirring from time to time, until the crumbles are firm and no longer taste raw.
05
Spoon the melted pork lard over the buckwheat and finish with the pork cracklings.
