Instructions
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine the Batter
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy. Do not overmix or the pancakes will be tough.
Heat the Pan
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. The pan is ready when a drop of water sizzles and evaporates immediately.
Cook the Pancakes
Pour about one quarter cup of batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown. Serve immediately.
