Heat griddle to 350 degrees F (or heat a large skillet to medium). Grease with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
Combine dry ingredients in large bowl: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt.
Add buttermilk, eggs and melted butter and mix just until wet and dry ingredients are incorporated. You don't want to over-mix the batter. Add milk, a little at a time until batter is still thick, but pourable.
Cook: Use a ¼ cup measuring cup to scoop batter and pour on hot, greased griddle (top with chocolate chips or blueberries, if desired). Cook pancakes until bubbles appear on the surface, then flip once.
Serve warm with our easy homemade pancake syrup.
