In a large mixing bowl, combine the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are fine.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with vegetable oil or butter.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot skillet or griddle. Use the back of the spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Carefully flip the pancake with a spatula and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet or griddle as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with butter, maple syrup, or your favorite toppings.
