Pour 6 tablespoons of the butter into a bowl and set aside. To the remaining 2 tablespoons browned butter left in the pan, whisk in the sugar, cornstarch and salt until it forms a thick paste. Add the milk, bourbon and vanilla, whisking until smooth. Return the saucepan to medium heat and cook, stirring often, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens to the consistency of loose pudding, about 3 minutes.

Roughly chop enough pecans to measure 1/2 cup and reserve for garnish. Finely chop the remaining pecans (you should have about 1 cup) and reserve for the pancake batter.
• Whisk the all-purpose and buckwheat flours, the cornstarch, confectioners' sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl. Add the 1 cup finely chopped pecans and whisk again to evenly coat. Whisk the reserved 6 tablespoons browned butter, the milk, vanilla and eggs together in another bowl. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until ingredients are just incorporated and form a thick batter (it's okay if there are some lumps). Let the batter rest for 5 minutes.

Cook until bubbles break on the surface of the pancake, and the underside is golden brown, about 6 minutes (reduce heat if pancake is browning too quickly).
