In a large bowl use a whisk to sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a separate medium bowl whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, eggs and vanilla. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until combined. The mixture will be lumpy. Set aside.
Melt 1-2 Tbsp butter in a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Divide the pancake batter using a tablespoon. (Use around 1 1/2 tablespoons of batter for a 2-inch pancake.)
Cook for 30-45 seconds or until golden brown and the batter has formed bubbles on top. Flip, then continue to cook for 30 seconds or until lightly golden and cooked through. (Tip: Adjust heat as needed to prevent over-browning.)
Repeat with remaining batter cooking in batches adding more butter to the pan between each batch, as needed.
Keep warm until serving with a drizzle of maple syrup, pats of butter and fresh fruit.
**Homemade Buttermilk** To each 1 cup of whole milk add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let stand for 5-10 minutes then stir, and proceed with the recipe.

Chocolate Chips Pancakes - Add 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips to the batter.
Lemon Ricotta Pancakes - Add a 1/3 cup ricotta cheese and 1-2 Tbsp of fresh lemon zest.
Blueberry Pancakes - Toss in fresh blueberries and a dash of almond extract.

Serving Options - It's a given that these pancakes are tasty for breakfast and brunch, but you can transform them into dessert, too. The sky's the limit with toppings. Top them with bananas, caramel sauce and whipped cream or macerated strawberries and Cool Whip. You could also top them with a drizzle of warm peanut butter or nutella in place of maple syrup.
