In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, add eggs and beat them slightly. Add buttermilk, vanilla extract, seeds from vanilla bean or vanilla bean paste, and melted butter and whisk to combine.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix until the batter is mostly smooth, with only small bits of flour remaining. Be sure not to overmix the batter.

Meanwhile, heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Melt butter into skillet or spray with baking spray, adding more as the pancakes cook to make sure that the griddle or skillet is well coated at all times.

Add about 1/3 cup batter to the hot pan. Cook approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Repeat for rest of the batter.

Serve pancakes warm with butter, syrup, whipped cream, and blackberry compote!
