When you use buttermilk instead of milk in recipes, you can replace some
of the baking powder with baking soda to compensate for the acidity of
the buttermilk.
For buttermilk pancakes, I use about 1/4 tsp of baking soda for 2 cups
of buttermilk. That gives a slightly sour batter. You can double this
amount if you don't like the acidity.
