Step 1: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then add buttermilk, whole milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

Step 2: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—it’s okay if there are a few lumps. Overmixing can make the pancakes dense.

Step 3: Preheat the Skillet or Griddle
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease it with butter or cooking spray.

Step 4: Cook the Pancakes
Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set (about 2-3 minutes). Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Step 5: Serve Warm
Transfer the pancakes to a plate and keep them warm in the oven (set to 200°F) while you cook the remaining batter. Serve with butter, maple syrup, and your favorite toppings.
