Step 1

Sift together the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and baking soda.

Step 2

Whisk together the egg, vanilla extract, buttermilk and melted butter.

Step 3

Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and whisk together just until combined. Do not over mix. Don't worry about small lumps. The batter will be thick.

Step 4

Using a 1/4 cup measure, pour batter onto a lightly greased griddle on medium heat; it's best to cook these slowly. You may need to spread the batter out a little with the back of a spoon but this is usually not necessary. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until lightly browned on both sides and the center is fully cooked.
