  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes.
  4. Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 3 minutes. Lightly grease the surface.
  5. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip.
  6. After flipping, cook for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve immediately.
