Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted unsalted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.

  2. 4

    Heat the Griddle

    Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.

  3. 5

    Cook Pancakes

    Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

  4. 6

    Flip and Finish

    Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and keep warm while you repeat with the remaining batter.
