Ingredients

• 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 1/4 cups well-shaken buttermilk
• 2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 lb sliced Canadian bacon, cut into 1/8-inch pieces

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200°F.
2. Stir together flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add egg, buttermilk, and 2 tablespoons oil and stir just until blended. Stir in bacon.
3. Heat a griddle or large heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot, then lightly brush with remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Working in batches and using a scant 1/4 cup per pancake, pour batter onto griddle and cook, turning over once, until golden, about 4 minutes total per batch. Keep warm, covered, in oven.
