Whisk together. 

Wet stuff: 
2 oz (4 tbsp) unsalted butter melted
2 oz (4 tbsp) sugar
1 tsp vanilla or other extract
3 large eggs
16 oz (2 c) buttermilk (full fat or low fat but not non-fat)

In large prep bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.

In medium prep bowl, whisk together wet ingredients, one at a time.

Fold together with rubber spatula, lumps are fine.
