Step 1

Combine the flour, sugar and baking soda in a medium bowl and stir using a balloon whisk to combine.

Step 2

Add the wet ingredients: buttermilk, butter, and vanilla and mix until smooth.

Step 3

Heat a medium non-stick frying pan over medium-low heat. Lightly spray with butter.

Step 4

Pour a 1/4-cupful of batter into the pan. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until bubbles rise to the surface and the base is golden brown. Use a spatula to turn and cook the other side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter to make 6 pancakes.
