These fluffy vanilla buttermilk pancakes are a delightful breakfast treat, perfect for any morning.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients together for a smoother batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Ensure the melted butter is not too hot to prevent cooking the eggs.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
Avoid overmixing to keep the pancakes fluffy.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Ensure the skillet is evenly heated before adding the batter.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, then flip and cook until golden brown.
Use a gentle flip to avoid breaking the pancakes.
Serve the pancakes warm with your favorite toppings like syrup, butter, or fresh fruit.
Warm the syrup slightly for a more indulgent experience.
