The best buttermilk pancakes recipe is made with basic ingredients like flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, and buttermilk. So much better than box mix - and you can even make the buttermilk pancake batter in advance and store it in the fridge. Fry them up in a cast iron skillet and serve warm with maple syrup and melted butter.
In a large bowl add the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg; whisk well to combine.
In a separate bowl add the eggs and lightly beat them with a whisk. Add in the buttermilk and vanilla and beat until well combined. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until everything is combined.
Pour batter by 1/3 cupfuls onto a buttered hot pan or griddle, adding only a few at a time so that they do not blend together.
Cook for about 2 minutes before flipping them over, or until small bubbles form on top. Cook on the second side until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Repeat with all pancake batter.
Serve pancakes warm, with syrup. See notes for freezing options.

Notes
To freeze: place cooled pancakes between layers of waxed paper, then place them in a freezer-safe plastic bag, squeezing out any excess air before sealing the bag and placing it in the freezer. Pancakes will keep in the freezer for 2 months. To reheat, heat your oven to 375 degrees (F). Place the pancakes in a single layer on a large baking pan; cover with tinfoil and heat in a preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until warm. You may also microwave 3-4 pancakes at a time for about 40 seconds, or until heated through.
