In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

In a separate bowl, combine egg, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.

Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes.

Preheat a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

Pour about ¼ cup of batter onto the hot griddle, leaving space between each pancake.

Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

Stack the pancakes on a warm plate and dust with powdered sugar. Add your choice of toppings.
