In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set this aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 large egg, 2 tablespoons of melted butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with your dry ingredients. Gently fold until just combined; it’s okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.

Preheat your non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, pour the batter onto the skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles form.

Carefully flip each pancake and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown on the other side.

Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate, keeping them warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining batter.
