  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

Step 4: Flip and Cook

  1. Once the edges look set and the bubbles have popped, gently flip the pancakes using a spatula.
  2. Cook the other side until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish
