Measure your dry ingredients into a sifter over a bowl. You want to make sure you measure your ingredients precisely using either a food scale, or, if you are using measuring cups, scoop the flour with a spoon into your measuring cup and use a flat surface to level.
Mix your dry ingredients and set aside.
You want your eggs and buttermilk to be room temperature. However, if you don't have time just pop your milk in the microwave for about 30 seconds. If you don't have buttermilk, you can use regular milk and add 1 tbsp of vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for five minutes.
Add your eggs, vanilla, and melted butter to your buttermilk and combine.
Pour your wet ingredients into your dry ingredients. Gently fold them in using a spatula.
Combine until the flour is not visible but do not over combine. You want it to be lumpy and don't want to deflate the batter.
The batter will look lumpy.
Add some butter to a pan on medium heat and melt. Then add 1/2 cup of batter.
Cook for about 5 minutes until golden and then flip.
Add more butter and continue until your batter is done!
