In a large mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour (if using), sugar (if making sweet pancakes), and salt. Whisk to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and vanilla extract (if using for sweet pancakes). Gradually whisk the wet mixture into the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter with no lumps.
Stir in the melted butter and mix until well incorporated. Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of butter.
Pour a small ladleful of batter (about 1/4 cup) onto the skillet and gently tilt the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even layer.
Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes, or until the edges are set and bubbles start to form on the surface. Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm with your choice of toppings. For sweet pancakes, try fresh berries, powdered sugar, or maple syrup. For savory pancakes, consider smoked salmon, crème fraîche, or sautéed vegetables.
