Stir together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk together buttermilk and next 5 ingredients in another bowl. Gradually stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in toasted pecans. Pour about 1/4 cup batter for each pancake onto a hot buttered griddle or large nonstick skillet. Cook 3-4 min. or until tops are covered with bubbles and edges look dry and cooked. Turn and cook 3-4 min. or until done. Place in a single layer on a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200 degree oven up to 30 min. Serve with Cream Cheese Anglaise.
