Mix the dry ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine the wet ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy — don’t overmix!
Heat the pan:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil.
Cook the pancakes:
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to pour batter onto the skillet, spacing the pancakes a couple inches apart. Cook 1–2 minutes or until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until golden brown.
Serve warm:
Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or a dollop of whipped cream.

Keep warm: Place cooked pancakes on a baking sheet in a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the batch.
