Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until combined.
Step 3
Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until just combined; lumps are okay. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Preheat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat and lightly butter it.
Step 5
Pour 0.25 cup batter per pancake onto the griddle. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Flip and cook the other side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a warm plate.
Step 7
Repeat with remaining batter. Serve warm with butter and syrup.
