Perfectly Fluffy Pancakes

3 1/4 c Flour
1/4 c sugar
4 t baking powder
2 t baking soda
1 t salt
**stir dry ingredients together
2 1/2 c milk
1/4 c melted butter
3 eggs
1-2 t vanilla

Preheat griddle to 375. Mix all ingredients together with wire whisk or spoon until combined, a few lumps will remain. Do not over-mix or use electric mixer...this causes those pesky air bubbles in the pancakes. Spray griddle lightly only for the first batch. Use 1/4 c batter and cook on the first side until bubbles reach the top of the pancake. Flip and cook about 1 minute on second side. Do not flip more than once---causes tougher pancakes.
