Good to know before you start
- No buttermilk? Stir 2 tablespoons lemon juice or white vinegar into 2 cups milk and let it sit 5 minutes.
- Overmixing makes pancakes tough, so stop stirring as soon as you no longer see dry flour.

Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a second bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula just until combined. A few lumps are fine. Let the batter rest 5 minutes.
Heat a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium heat and brush lightly with butter.
Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook 1 to 2 minutes more, until golden.
Keep finished pancakes warm on a baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you cook the rest. Serve with butter and maple syrup.
