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.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. A few lumps are okay; do not overmix as it can make the pancakes tough.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, pour batter onto the hot skillet to form each pancake. Leave enough space between pancakes for flipping.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set. Flip the pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 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 your favorite toppings, such as maple syrup, butter, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
