1-First, in a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. This sets the foundation for your buttermilk pancakes recipe.

2-Next, in a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract to blend the wet ingredients perfectly.

3-Slowly drizzle the melted butter into the wet ingredients while whisking until combined; some separation is okay, so don’t worry if it looks a bit uneven.

4-Then, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together with a wooden spoon until just combined, ensuring some flour streaks remain to avoid dense pancakes.

5-Preheat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil for even cooking.

6-Scoop about ½ to ⅔ cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet, which helps create those signature fluffy pancakes.

7-Cook until edges look set and bubbles begin to burst on the surface, then carefully flip the pancake for the other side.

8-Continue cooking until golden brown, and repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan as needed.

9-Serve warm with butter and maple syrup or your favorite toppings to enjoy a delicious pancakes experience.
