If you happen to have wheat berries/grain sitting around (for whatever reason...) this is a great way to use them up! Give it a try - it is easier than you think. The pancakes are light, soft and delicious (and so say my kids!), and you could add a Tablespoon of sugar, if you wish. As for soaking overnight, I put it in a cool place, but buttermilk is just thin liquid yogurt, so it's unlikely to spoil overnight on the counter.
