For the dry ingredients: Put the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk together to thoroughly combine.

For the wet ingredients: Whisk together the buttermilk, butter, and eggs in a second bowl. You can save a bit of cleanup by gently melting the butter in this bowl in the microwave, then whisking in the buttermilk and eggs.

Stir the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Be careful not to overmix, or your pancakes will come out tough; it’s okay if the batter has some lumps. If it is too thick, add a bit more buttermilk, but keep it on the thick side. If it is too thin, add a bit more of either flour.

Place a griddle (or two skillets) over medium heat. Rub it with a bit of oil on a paper towel. When the griddle is hot, ladle out about 1/3 cup batter to make circles about five inches in diameter. Cook until bubbles form on top and a peek underneath reveals a nice dark brown, about one and a half minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is done. (Adjust the heat as needed after your first batch. You want the pancakes to be dark golden brown and cook reasonably quickly but not burn before the inside is cooked.) You can keep them warm in a 200-degree-Fahrenheit oven while cooking the rest of the pancakes.

Serve forth with plenty of soft butter and real maple syrup.
