Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until thoroughly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat together milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
Preheat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
Scoop about ⅓ cup of pancake batter onto the heated skillet, keeping them at least 2 inches apart.
Allow them to cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface.
Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Once all pancakes are cooked, serve them hot with your favorite toppings.
