In Russia they are called Bliny and are eaten preferably with sour cream and caviar.
I tried making them (the Blinys only, without the caviar) and found they need very slow cooking, as the buckwheat flour soaks up a lot of liquid. Merc's recipe using wheat/buckwheat half-and-half sounds like a good compromise.
