Ingredients

1 cup buckwheat flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups buttermilk
¼ cup butter, melted
2 large eggs, separated, divided

Steps:

Combine buckwheat flour, pastry flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; mix well.
Beat buttermilk, melted butter, and egg yolks together in a separate bowl. Stir in dry ingredients until combined.
Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into the batter, until just blended.
Heat a lightly greased griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Working in batches, pour or ladle 1/4 cup batter onto the heated surface for each pancake. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
