In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and uniform.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, gently folding with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Scoop 1/4 cup of pancake batter for each pancake onto the skillet, spreading slightly to create an even round shape.
Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides.
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed between batches.
Serve the pancakes warm with maple syrup, butter, or your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
