Creating light and fluffy Vanilla Cinnamon Buttermilk Pancakes is simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until combined.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
3. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; small lumps are okay.
4. Preheat the Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
5. Pour the Batter: Using a ladle or measuring cup, pour about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot skillet.
6. Cook Until Bubbly: Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes. The edges will look set.
7. Flip the Pancakes: Carefully flip the pancakes over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until golden brown.
8. Repeat: Continue with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
9. Serve Warm: Stack the pancakes on a serving plate and keep warm while you cook the remaining batter.
