Grandpa’s Buttermilk Merengues (Pancakes)

This is a family recipe originating from my grandpa. He always made these at every family get together I can remember. They are light and fluffy and delicious and on our most recent get together my dad announced that he thinks they should have the word Meringue in the title since you have to whip the egg whites. From henceforth, in our immediate family they will be known as:
