This recipe has been placed here for play in Culinary Quest - Ireland. Recipe found at http://www.irelandseye.com/aarticles/culture/recipes/cooking/pancakes.shtm. These are also known as Scotch Pancakes, especially in the North of Ireland. They must be cooked as soon as possible after mixing, because the acid in the buttermilk starts to react with the baking soda at once. For that reason the griddle or pan should be heated before combining the ingredients.
