Instructions

In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk, eggs, butter, lemon juice, and vanilla.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix just till combined. (There will be clumps If all the clumps are mixed out, the pancakes will be overmixed and get rubbery.)
Heat a skillet over medium heat, don’t overheat the pan. Spray with nonstick spray and pour ¼ cup batter in the pan and cook till bubbles appear on the pancake. When the bubbles begin to pop, flip the pancake and cook for 15 to 30 seconds.

You can make your own buttermilk by mixing 2 cups milk and 2 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for 10 minutes, stir and then add to the batter.
