Buttermilk Pancakes

For breakfast we had one of Carson's favorites—pancakes (with bacon, of course). This combination of ingredients yields very light and fluffy pancakes. The batter has vanilla in it, which lends a nice flavor. These are the best pancakes! (They are equally tasty for dinner as well.)

Buttermilk Pancakes
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
3 Tbsp. butter, melted
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Syrup

1. Combine flour and next 4 ingredients in a mixing bowl. In another bowl, combine buttermilk and next 3 ingredients. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, stirring just until combined.
2. Scoop 1/4-cupfuls of batter onto a hot grill pan or griddle. Cook until bubbles form on surface and edges look dry. Turn over pancakes and cook 2 minutes. Serve warm with warm syrup.
