Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and whisk together thoroughly.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until completely combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a whisk until just combined.

Allow the batter to sit for 2 to 3 minutes.

Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.

Lightly butter or oil the cooking surface before pouring the batter.

Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle for each pancake and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.

Flip each pancake carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.

Transfer finished pancakes to a plate and keep warm in a 200-degree oven while cooking remaining batches.
