I also enjoy buttermilk pancakes. My pancakes have a sweeter flavor as they don't have the sour flavor of the buttermilk, or sour milk, but rise super light, moist, and fluffy. Good buttermilk pancakes also rise super light, moist, and fluffy. I alternate, and also sometimes use whole wheat instead of all purpose white flour.
If you want to make buckwheat pancakes, simply use 2/3's what flour to 1/3 buckwheat flour. This hold true for adding any other kind of grain to quckbreads or cakes. So for my recipe, you would use the following:
Whisk together
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup buckwheat flour
3 tsp. double acting baking powder
Add
1 large egg
3/4 cup, plus 1/8 cup milk
3 tbs. cooking oil or melted butter
Whisk all ingredients together, leaving small lumps in the batter.
Cook over medium heat until bubbles form on top and begin to pop.
Flip and cook until golden brown. serve with Maple Syruup, Buckwheat honey, or your favorite fruit jam or preserves.
