Step 1

Whisk together the dry ingredients in a large bowl or, as I frequently do, a large glass measuring cup.

Step 2

Whisk in the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract just until combined. Some small lumps are okay.

Step 3

Let pancake batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Spray with non-stick cooking spray OR brush with butter or oil.

Step 6

Ladle 1/3 - 1/2 cup batter onto the griddle for each pancake.

Step 7

Flip the pancakes over when small bubbles appear on the surface and continue cooking on the opposite side until golden brown.

Step 8

Serve with butter and syrup.
