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

In another bowl, combine the milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined.

Heat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the skillet.

Cook until you see bubbles forming on the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Carefully flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the pancakes from the skillet and serve immediately with your favorite toppings.
