Step 1

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract (if using).

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. It's okay if there are a few lumps in the batter.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter or oil.

Step 5

Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake.

Step 6

Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Flip the pancake and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 1-2 minutes more.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.

Step 9

Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as maple syrup, fresh fruit, or whipped cream.
