These pancakes are thick, tender and just sweet enough. Buttermilk plus both baking powder and soda gives them that diner-style rise.
The most important rule: don't overmix. Lumpy batter makes fluffy pancakes.

Instructions
- Whisk dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Whisk buttermilk, eggs, melted butter and vanilla in another bowl.
- Pour wet into dry and fold gently until just combined — lumps are good. Rest 5 minutes.
- Heat a lightly buttered pan over medium. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake.
- Flip when bubbles form and edges look set, about 2 minutes. Cook 1 minute more. Serve warm.
💡 Tips for success
- No buttermilk? Mix 2 cups milk with 2 tbsp lemon juice and wait 5 minutes.
