Morphology
This is a straightforward noun–noun composition where the first noun specifies the ingredient or type of the second noun: a pancake made with buttermilk. A B1 learner who knows 'buttermilk' and 'pancake' will readily infer that meaning; while the textural consequence (lighter, fluffier) is extra cultural detail, the referent is fully predictable. Such ingredient-based compounds are cross-linguistically common, supporting full transparency.
Etymology
Buttermilk pancake comes from the simple idea of a pancake made with buttermilk, the thin liquid left when people make butter. That slightly sour liquid helps the batter become light and fluffy, so the name points to a pancake that is 'soft and a little tangy'.
