In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and melted butter until fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. The batter may be slightly lumpy, which is fine. Do not overmix.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with nonstick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Spoon about a quarter cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to spread the batter into an even circle, if needed.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set. Flip the pancakes and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as necessary to prevent sticking.
Serve the pancakes warm with a drizzle of maple syrup, fresh fruit, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
