1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and set aside.
2. Combine the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
Pour the wet ingredients into the well of the dry ingredients.
3. Gently Mix the Batter
Stir the batter gently with a spatula or whisk until just combined. A few lumps are fine—overmixing can make the pancakes dense. Let the batter rest for 5–10 minutes to allow the baking powder to activate.
4. Preheat and Grease the Pan
Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Lightly grease the surface with butter or cooking spray.
5. Cook the Pancakes
Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Use the back of a spoon to gently spread the batter into a circle if needed.
Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges look set.
Flip the pancake carefully and cook for another 1–2 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
6. Serve
Stack the pancakes on a plate and serve warm with your favorite toppings.
